Sustaining teamwork and interaction in higher education

Abstract

Interactions, negotiation, role diversity, and debates are vital for learning and development, specifically in social sciences. Our ability to ensure that these elements are sustained will define the success of digitalisation in education. Otherwise, it will not be possible to prepare students for work life and help them develop relevant competencies. In this article, I argue that teamwork is vital for developing work-life competencies despite its challenges, and there are ways to tackle most of the associated challenges.
