Result & DiscussionFacilitating new forms of learning with
collaborative technologies may close the gap between teachers and students that exists in traditional teaching. Also formal and informal learning environments can be hand in hand. Collaboration is more than competition where entertaining while learning is a priority.
Teachers needs to be prepared to integrate technology in the curriculum for including new forms of learning activities . Also the sustainability is needed for future competence development.
