Abstract / Summary

Increasingly we are enabling student led learning, collaboration and peer review using digital technologies. Providing the technical and pedagogical support to facilitate these collaborative learning experiences is key to successful active social learning. The introduction of Google+ Communities in 2012 offers an opportunity for students from different institutions to interact, share content, peer review and collaborate. Students are able to take ownership of the space with the possibility of assigning student moderators, shaping the page to their needs, defining the community and setting out best use guidelines.
