{{DISPLAYTITLE:DGB 4: Creative Collaboration with Media and Software Tools}}
← [[DGB 4. Klasse/en|Digital Literacy – Year 4]]

Digital collaboration is more than several people editing the same file. Productive teamwork
requires a clear goal, suitable tools, roles, version control, feedback rules and shared
responsibility. Students practise these principles through media and software projects.

== Learning objectives ==

Students can:

* explain collaboration as a planned process;
* choose tools that fit a task rather than simply using familiar software;
* co-edit documents and media responsibly;
* use comments, suggestions and feedback constructively;
* organise ideas with shared whiteboards or planning tools;
* assign tasks and monitor progress;
* manage versions and sharing permissions;
* combine individual contributions into a coherent product;
* coordinate audio, video or design work;
* resolve conflicts and document decisions;
* evaluate both the group process and the final product.

== Learning content ==

=== Collaboration as a process ===

Start with purpose, audience, output, roles and deadlines. Tool choice should follow these
requirements rather than determine the project.

=== Shared writing and editing ===

Collaborative documents allow simultaneous work, comments and revision history. Clear
sections and responsibilities reduce accidental overwriting and duplicated effort.

=== Collaborative design ===

Design platforms can combine layouts, images and text. A shared style guide helps ensure that
different contributions still form one coherent product.

=== Developing and visualising ideas ===

Digital whiteboards and concept maps support brainstorming, clustering and prioritisation. The
goal is not to collect endless ideas but to decide what moves the project forward.

=== Task management ===

Kanban boards, checklists or simple tables can show who is responsible, what is in progress and
what is blocked. Transparency supports fair workload distribution.

=== Versions, permissions and responsibility ===

Version history allows teams to trace changes. Sharing rights should follow the principle of
least necessary access: viewers do not need editing rights, and public links should not be used by
default.

=== Audio, video and multimedia collaboration ===

Complex media projects benefit from scripts, shot lists, naming conventions and clear handover
points between recording, editing and publication.

=== Feedback as a design tool ===

Specific feedback explains what works, what is unclear and what concrete change would help.
Teams should record decisions so that feedback leads to improvement rather than repeated debate.

== Classroom activities ==

=== Shared poster project ===

Create a poster with assigned content, design and quality-control roles.

'''Expected outcome:''' A coherent shared poster.

=== Collaborative writing workshop ===

Write and revise one document using comments and change history.

'''Expected outcome:''' A final text plus revision trail.

=== Whiteboard for ideas and roles ===

Collect ideas, cluster them and convert selected ideas into assigned tasks.

'''Expected outcome:''' A planning board.

=== Team audio project ===

Create a short audio product with script, recording, editing and review roles.

'''Expected outcome:''' A finished audio clip.

=== Video with clear responsibilities ===

Plan scenes, record material and edit using agreed file names and handovers.

'''Expected outcome:''' A short team video.

=== Kanban media project ===

Use a simple board to track tasks and blocked work.

'''Expected outcome:''' A completed project board.

=== Justify design decisions ===

Record major choices about layout, media and audience.

'''Expected outcome:''' A design decision log.

=== Combine individual contributions ===

Merge separately produced sections into one consistent product.

'''Expected outcome:''' A unified final product.

=== Feedback rounds ===

Apply comment rules that are specific, respectful and actionable.

'''Expected outcome:''' A peer-review record.

=== Choose the tool deliberately ===

Compare two possible tools against collaboration needs, privacy and accessibility.

'''Expected outcome:''' A justified tool choice.

=== Creative task with constraints ===

Produce a creative solution under fixed format, time and accessibility requirements.

'''Expected outcome:''' A constraint-driven product.

=== Project reflection ===

Evaluate communication, workload, quality and one change for next time.

'''Expected outcome:''' A team improvement plan.

== Self-check ==

* I can plan collaboration before opening a tool.
* I can choose tools based on task requirements.
* I can manage roles, versions and permissions.
* I give feedback that leads to concrete improvement.
* I can combine separate contributions into one coherent product.
* I can reflect on both process and result.
