| description | Teaching the advantages and disadvantages of ICT can be boring and unchallenging to students. Hence, a lesson
was designed for interactivity and collaboration using Padlet. Padlet is an online tool and has been used for
maintaining interactions and communication for collaborative learning. In this study, Padlet was used in a
synchronous online debate among 40 students learning about computers in an institute of higher education. A
survey of the usability of this tool for constructing new knowledge and for collaborative learning was done. In
addition, students were interviewed to gather their opinion on the use of the tool. The findings indicated that
students could learn and generate new ideas when using this tool. Hence, Padlet can be used for collaborative
learning in the format of a debate to get new ideas. Further studies can be carried out to determine other models
for using Padlet as an instructional tool for subjects in higher education institutions. |
