The document outlines the Carpe Diem process for designing collaborative learning and assessment. It consists of 6 stages: 1) writing a blueprint, 2) creating a storyboard, 3) building a prototype, 4) checking reality, 5) reviewing and adjusting, and 6) creating an action plan. The process is based on 12 years of research into achieving collaborative learning design and outcomes-based learning for a digital age. It provides a practical framework to develop learning, teaching, and assessment with technology.
