After reviewing existing methodologies, it was noted that some key aspects were under-utilized, including user participation and "real interaction" (i.e. monitoring of user interaction with a prototype site.) This situation can lead to deficiencies in the resulting website and hence user frustration. A study was carried out to examine various methodologies, from different disciplines, and their integration, to select the strongest aspects of the various methodologies to be combined into a new methodology. This methodology was assessed by interviews and a questionnaire. Proposed further research will develop a website describing the new methodology; incorporate a software tool to assist in tailoring the methodology to a particular project

This assessment will encourage students to promote skills in teamwork, communication (writing, interpersonal interaction and cultural awareness, and presenting), critical and creative thinking (problem-solving and solving and decision-making), Information Technology literacy, and information literacy, and is intended to increase their self-confidence in both their studies and in the future workforce. This chapter provides empirical evidence from 267 students, based on quantitative and qualitative data derived from two sources. The first consists of anonymous informal feedback collected during the semester, while the second (formal) source of students' evaluations and attitudes towards the BT2 unit and teaching is “eVALUate.” The students indicate that they are satisfied with this form of assessment as it assists them to develop specific skills and understandings, including time management, problem solving, decision-making, cultural awareness, oral presentation, communication, and meeting a deadline.

So far the role of technology in education has been marginal as it was limited to emulate and virtualize traditional face-to-face teacher/student interactions. Now when societal transformations become visible, it is inevitable that education shifts its accent from the transfer-into the development of new expertise for instance via problem-based learning. The method for making rather accurate extrapolations of current trends into to-morrow's practice is to re-interpret the recent educational transformations. As exemplar the potential impact of social media on education will be elaborated.
