Summary/Abstract: The authors concentrate on the variety and scope of roles filled by learners, the potential development of associated transferable skills, and the way videoconferencing facilitates this process. Key learner roles and their outcomes are described. Detailed advice is given as to how students can maximise their skills and how technology can best support them. A range of task-based collaborative activities are presented, and the underlying theory and practice are both described in order to balance their rationales.
