How technology can encourage collaborative learning

Join educational researcher Nina Alonso for this podcast series as she shares powerful stories from teachers around the world, talking in their own words about their own experiences. 

Today’s episode is a collaboration with Sophie Bailey, from The Edtech Podcast. Nina and Sophie explore the theme of collaborative learning using education technology. 

How are researchers collaborating with children to co-design new technology? What’s the role of teachers in working with technology? How can technology be utilised in more challenging teaching environments?

To find out more, Nina and Sophie talk to Jason Yip, assistant professor of digital youth at The Information School at the University of Washington and Koen Timmers, a lecturer, author and founder of several global educational projects.
