Since you have considerable flexibility in how youformulate your T&L portfolio, use that flexibility to your advantage.As with creating any document, you always want to consider your audience carefully. YourT&L portfolio has many potential audiences, many knowing little about the specific details ofyour discipline. This means that how well written and organized the portfolio is will be moreimportant to many of the audiences than the content.

, IsraelIntroductionCollaboration in Computer Science courses has several benefits. It allows students with diversebackgrounds and perspectives to come together and understand the subject material holisticallyand comprehensively. Working in a team encourages students to exchange ideas, expertise, andbest practices, which helps them learn from one another and not only from the teaching staff.When students work on programming assignments in a team, it allows students to peer reviewtheir team members’ code. Peer evaluation and feedback help improve the work’s overall qualityand also reflects developers’ workflow in real-world software development projects. Moreover, acollaborative environment encourages students to be accountable for their and their teammembers’ work
