Work with project enable work in groupe and collaboration between pupils. Also my ARP will be enable collaboration between pupils and pupils-teacher.

Pupils who will use e-portfolio to reflect on their learning will be volunteers. They will be informed that only the teacher will have access to their e-portfolio. In this way their privacy will be fully protected. Pupils will collaborate only on technical difficulties they might have when writing the e-portfolio.
