SAMR Model

Image
Based what I found in Wikipedia, SAMR is an acronym that stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition.

Based on Wikipedia, the term collaborative writing refers to projects where written works are created by multiple people together (collaboratively) rather than individually. Some project are overseen by an editor or editorial team, but many grow without any oversight. Collaborative writing is also an approach for teaching novice authors to write. Collaborative or team writing is the process of producing a written work as a group where all team members contributed to the content and the decisions about how the group will function.
