Engineers in the real world rarely work in isolation. Often, they work in teams to solve ill-bounded problems that do not have an ideal solution. This is different from the style of questions that our engineering students are trained to solve. I've been trying to find ways to promote the teaching of teamwork to engineering students. I've done this via a new course called: Team Design and Project Skills ( doi:10.5281/zenodo.3653965 ) . However, there were challenges in assessing individual contributions to the team project. Can ELNs be used for facilitating and assessing teamwork? Can ELNs encourage students to keep well maintained notebooks that contain both text and images, just as Leonardo da Vinci achieved many centuries ago? Can This is what I have aimed to investigate in my recently funded project by Glasgow University's Learning and Teaching Development Fund (LTDF).
