c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 SPARKPLUS : enabling collaboration and dialogue for learning and developing standards.AbstractProfessional learning is often informal, learnt on the job through engaging in practice withpeers. Hence, to prepare students for professional practice they require opportunities todevelop their ability to work in such collaborative /socially constructed learningenvironments.The authors have conducted several studies investigating the impact of collaborative learningactivities on the people that participate in them. We found thoughtful design is required,including scaffolding, to motivate desired approaches and attitudes to learning. The results ofthese studies informed
