Abstract
This article is based on pharmacy students using technology in collaborative learning and offers
insights for tutors conducting clinical case study discussions. Reflection revealed that collabo
rative learning, fostering active interaction and asymmetrical roles, positively impacted student
engagement. It proved beneficial when the goal was to enhance learners' engagement in a shared
task with mutual accountability. Tutors are also encouraged to view teaching as a means of
developing students' learning abilities rather than information transmission. This article
emphasised the significance of technology, particularly Padlet, in this process, identified by
students as an enabler of learning. Suggestions for future development include exploring variables
affecting collaborative learning and understanding technology's role in supporting this method.
Overall, this reflective work provided valuable guidance for tutors seeking to optimise collabo
rative learning experiences in case study discussions.
