Digital technologies are widely used, both as a complement to campus education and in distance education. In “Knowledge Construction Through Blogs”, Maria Limniou discusses how students create blog posts and exchange views with other students. The aim is to support students to construct knowledge collectively and to develop their digital capabilities. In “Digital Collaboration Tools”, Eric Loepp and Nicole Weber discuss how a communication suite that includes whiteboard, chat, file sharing and videoconferencing is used at their university. Collaborative writing is an emerging topic that has been simplified by digital shared documents, such as Google Docs and shared Word documents.
