Collaborative Learning and Interdisciplinarity Applied to Teaching Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes an experiment based on using collaborative learning tools for acquiring the competences considered necessary for creating new business models and formulating them in business plans. The main aim of the teaching methods used was to improve student learning through working in multidisciplinary teams. The results flag up the potential of the wikis available on virtual campuses to create work environments in which students from different disciplines can participate. Furthermore, the difficulties encountered are presented as areas to be taken into account in future experiments.
