As I ponder over many of the new collaborative tools being touted for use to promote learning, I just wonder how many of these tools would really make it to the mainstream of lecturers' teaching practice.
To me, most of the people whom I have met would consider monitoring and assessing, (which they must do), student activities online as something of an extra to their current workload which they would rather not participate in if given a choice or if there are no overt recognition financially and socially.
Add to the fact that the goal of education has switch its focus on the masses rather than the elite few, it is incomprehensible how any of them would be able to promote collaborative learning and yet at the same time, manage the overwhelming task to assess the work generated and its quality.
