Group work in EDRL 6004?

We all recognise that some students are more competent and exposed in computer literacy than others.In my humble opinion there should have been the opportunity for official group work in this course.Yes,some will claim that it may keep them back but was a consensus taken?Yes,the lecturer and tutors may claim that they were available but I still think that especially in this course the opportunity should have been provided for group work.Remember the same students in this course will now have to go out to the schools and practise the technology.So why couldn't we be the ones to practise on so that we all could have seen the possible hiccups and come to a collective solution?
