important reason could be the fact that there is little or no structure to the activities in theseuses of wikis. On the other hand, in our approach, the activities are designed to trigger cognitiveconflict leading to students engaging in effective collaborative learning.Some researchers have suggested that technology, which is indeed the backbone of CSCL, shouldbe exploited to realize some unique possibilities: • The fact that CSCL environments can record the interactions in detail allows researchers to zoom in and see what exactly is going on during the collaborative interactions 16 , making it a richer design environment for the researcher; • Computational media, being configurable and adaptive, can make new interactions

As thedemands of the curriculum grow, instructors need to explore ways to effectively engage students,enhance their critical abilities and assist them in assimilating an increasingly complex body ofknowledge. Just as teams of software engineers are assembled in the workplace to manage thedemands for high quality outcomes, teams of students can be assembled in the classroom to meetthe need for high quality learning.

They found that recruiters were seeking students who had been involved inactivities outside the classroom and had the ability to articulate the learning gained from theseexperiences. The three engineering leadership themes they identified were communication (self-awareness), connection (big picture thinking) and confidence [10]. 2These studies are valuable because they shed light on employer perspectives of desiredleadership qualities and
