Abstract

This article is based on pharmacy students using technology in collaborative learning and offers insights for tutors conducting clinical case study discussions. Reflection revealed that collaborative learning, fostering active interaction and asymmetrical roles, positively impacted student engagement. It proved beneficial when the goal was to enhance learners' engagement in a shared task with mutual accountability. Tutors are also encouraged to view teaching as a means of developing students' learning abilities rather than information transmission. This article emphasised the significance of technology, particularly Padlet, in this process, identified by students as an enabler of learning. Suggestions for future development include exploring variables affecting collaborative learning and understanding technology's role in supporting this method. Overall, this reflective work provided valuable guidance for tutors seeking to optimise collaborative learning experiences in case study discussions.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest I do not have any competing or conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2024.
