Didactical part
Before the session, read the content on the wiki and comment it. If you have specific questions that you would like to discuss, please, add them by commenting the page.
The workshop is designed as a whole curriculum with a pedagogical progression.
Objectives: helping a project work team to exchange around its practices and to structure the knowledge it uses or produces when it performs its tasks, using the wiki tool that the team develops together.
As a collective of adult educators and european professionals from different countries, backgrounds and approaches, how can we organize us to work together as a working-learning project team ? With the expertise in cooperative project management available in COOPETIC, we experiment tools and methods to improve our collaboration practices and to manage the project as an opportunity of enhancing cooperative learning and building the basis of a community of practice.

Why are you using the digital tools you are using? Do you know exactly the way the tools you are using work or do you just follow the "mainstream" (because everybody does so and I do the same)? (example: google drive) * Reflect about your awareness about such things as: data security, privacy, digital identity. (for example, when I am buying on Internet or posting a post on Facebook, do I really know what I am doing?)
