Spanish Lecturer Zaida Villanueva García describes how she found a few tools to encourage peer interaction and collaboration in her classes. One of those is an online whiteboard where students answer guided questions and prompts together. Students are able to work at their own pace and within their team. This creates a clear and organized summary where students can contribute to the content for the whole class. She encourages instructors to minimize the use of different tools and rather think of creative ways to use those you absolutely need.
