Your Google account gives you access to many useful web-based applications, GMail, Google Calendar, Google Maps and many others, most of which incorporate features that support conversation, sharing, and collaboration.
Many other web-based applications and practices support interaction and communication but people need to be taught how to use them effectively. Zotero is an example of a web-based application that has social functionality built-in which allows collaborative work. MindMeister can be used collaboratively as well.
Some popular strategies for teaching collaboration can be adapted for use with ICT.
The JigSaw Classroom technique is very detailed. Maybe more for learning cooperation..
Others include; clusters, buzz groups, round-robin, leaning cells, or fishbowl discussions
An example of a text-based collaborative online work environment is Etherpad.
Activity: Design a lesson that uses online applications and practices to develop learners' capacity to work collaboratively.
