“…The Patchwork Text process is, however, one that requires careful thought and planning and a degree of confidence on the part of the teacher. As discussed by Ovens (2003) and Rees & Preston (2003) it can be anxiety‐provoking to hand control over to the students. However, as Ovens (2003) explains, there is a distinction between being ‘in control’ and ‘having control over’ the teaching situation.…”

The promotion of effective interprofessional collaboration is very high on the UK government's agenda for reform and modernization of the Health and Social Care Services. As lecturers in Higher Education we are concerned with developing meaningful learning experiences that facilitate this collaboration in practice. To this end we introduced the Patchwork Text as an innovative form of teaching, learning and assessment and, in this article, we report the findings of our small exploratory study examining the student experience of the process and the potential of the Patchwork Text to facilitate interprofessional collaboration. We collected data from students via open-ended questionnaires and a focus group discussion. The findings that emanated from the data showed that the iterative process of the Patchwork Text enabled students to develop and express the characteristics that are essential for collaborative working. It thus acted as a powerful vehicle for the learning and practice of collaboration in the classroom.

“…It can also support communication between people separated geographically, and hence has been used to support international student communication and collaboration (Van Ryssen & Godar, 2000;Rees & Preston, 2003;Swigger et al, 2004). In this section we will briefly review some of the areas of research which indicate the potential benefits and drawbacks to international students of the online mode of communication.…”

This article explores the potential and limitations of international educational collaboration using the concept of connection, a term with different meanings that are sometimes conflated to produce unrealistic expectations of computer-mediated communication (CMC). The authors explore the use on the Internet of the 'only connect' quote from Howard's End, in order to critique technological determinism and advocate an alternative approach that recognises the interpretive flexibility inherent in CMC. In a communication-rich experience such as education, the limitations of CMC are evident, particularly for non-native speakers, but the medium does offer some advantages over face-to-face communication. The authors introduce the notion of 'cool webs' to understand some responses to the challenges presented by international student collaboration online, illustrated by examples from the Collaboration Across Borders project.
