Collaborative learning

Why collaborate?

Collaborative working or partnership working – includes a whole spectrum of ways that two or more individuals or organisations can work together. It can cover informal networks and alliances, joint delivery of projects or full merger.

Collaborative working starts by creating a classroom at DigiSender Live in order that students or participants can join in, learn & discover.

Why use live video?

Collaborative working between two or more individuals has been growing exponentially in recent months. With the advent of increased home-working we’ve seen dramatic changes in peoples working habits. That’s why DigiSender Live forms an important part of collaborative working:

• A significant increase in learning from home
• A growing demand from users for greater features and functions within the platform
• More ways to share documents, screenshare and more
• A far more efficient use of resources

Types of collaborative working

Structures for collaborative working where Live video may be required includes:

• Create continuity between Schools to Students who are working from home
• Create discussion groups for trainers with attendees joining from around the world
• Separate organisations maintain their independence, but work jointly on some activities or functions
• Organisations with resources or expertise offer assistance to other organisations
• Organisation working with a small local group
• A new way to create joint work & partnerships
• A group structure where a ‘parent’ organisation governs a group of ‘subsidiary’ organisations
• To merge ideas to form new activities or functions

Collaborative working can be used to:

• Distance learning for schools and collages
• Carry out charitable activities, e.g. service delivery, campaigning, policy work
• Share premises or support functions, e.g. payroll, purchasing, fundraising
• Improve strategic efficiency
