We will show that using innovative collaborative technologies (such as wikis, instant messaging or peer-assessment) in a physics project can motivate our “millennial” generation students. We have implemented these technologies in a multicampus educational setting (geographically dispersed) with a large student body (more than 600 students), involving two engineering disciplines.
