I'd also have students use blogs for collaborative learning assignments.Still, even using MS Word and problem-based learning seemed like a big leap from what other professors did in their classes. When I discussed this with them, they seemed to conceptually get the idea, but none of them seemed to change to actually do it. It's not like as a young professor I really challenged why they would stick to a note-taking approach, but it was interesting to me.Back to the Chronicle article. I'm still not sure how serious the author was ...

  • Guidance Needed - Are we Misguided in Informal Learning and Collaborative Learning Techniques

    Found via: Big Dog, Little Dog - a very interesting article: Why Minimal Guidance during Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching - Educational PsychologistIt points out that open learning environments may not be good ways for people to learn. Doesn't this suggest that informal learning, collaborative learning and other approaches to learning that do not provide much guidance are - well - misguided?

  • Collaborative Online Assignments

    I ran across a nice post Clive on Learning: In praise of collaborative online assignments where he suggests that we provide collaborative assignments in addition to self-paced, individual eLearning. I'm a big fan of this approach and have tried it in a few different forms.

Another was providing group assignments towards the tail end of particular sections.Honestly, I've run into enough problems with this kind of approach in terms of synchronizing ...

    Through two recent experiences I've come to realize that many people in eLearning are not using Survey tools nearly as much as I would have thought.For my recent Collaborative Learning eLearning 2.0 Class, I used a SurveyMonkey survey to ask the class members about their background, interests and availability. You can see the survey results on the Course Wiki.SurveyMonkey is very easy to use. It's free up to a limit. It will even help send the surveys, track who's taken them and nag people who have not completed the survey.And, of course, there are lots of other tools out there that ...
