Research output: Unpublished contribution to conference › Unpublished Conference Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Students commonly use instant messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, to coordinate group activities. While universities encourage this practice, which mirrors practice in real world teams, little is known about how students use these communication tools. Building understanding of student communication behaviour in this medium would support pedagogical design to develop students’ employability skills. This paper proposes a research design for collecting and analysing realistic student responses using a vignette survey delivered online.
