Abstract

Leveraging today's key methods and technologies, content leaders and

session participants will work together to surface skills and knowledge for

creating collaborative physical and online spaces that enhance student

outcomes. Areas of exploration include increasing engagement/participation,

group work, formative assessment, in-class self-reflection, mastery level

learning with learning pace variations and demonstration of asynchronous

learning. We’ll also discuss increased capacity via broadcast synchronous for

online and in-class, collaborative/shareable/ personalized note-taking,

portfolios/accreditation, and faculty (sandbox) training space.

Creating and Using a Collaboratory

Learning Environment

Participants will…

1. Investigate and learn to use online

tools that enable students at different

mastery levels to spend class time on

collaborative problem-solving and

critical thinking.2. Determine how to use mid-level

course data from student interactions

to maximize student learning.

Second Half 

Co-Designing a Collaborative

Learning Space

Participants will…

1. Recognize how to gather input from

campus stakeholders to design

collaborative physical spaces that

leverage the most current research

on sound space programming.

Today

• Create A Collaboratory

•

Where each student in the class"comes to the board" and

participates

• Back to the days of Slate

• Flip the Classroom – Read (or

Watch) at Home, Work in Class

• Available tools are…

• Polling

• Whiteboards

• Communicate

• Online distribution of content

• Audio/video capabilities• Online Assessment

Time Savings Allows for Higher-Level Tasks

• You want to do what – write on a board and erase it?

•

Students can participate and contribute• Receive summative and formative assessment

• Watch lectures as homework

• Class time on problem-solving and

critical thinking development

• Mastery Dilemma – Relies on “taking your time”

• Logistical Issues – Delivery of material to students when they’re at different

mastery levels

• Assessment Issues – Versions of assessments for test integrity

• Implications For All Modes Of Instruction

• Traditional

• Hybrid

• Online

Benefits of a Collaboratory

• Increased engagement and participation from students

• Model for other classrooms

• Lectures assigned as homework

• Group work, formative assessment, self-reflection occurs during class time with

instructor serving as a collaborator.

• Broadcast and synchronize with online and in-class students (increased

capacity)

• Mastery level learning - allow for slight variations in learning pace and multipleattempts to demonstrate learning asynchronously

• Note taking is collaborative

Benefits of a Collaboratory

• Able to archive student learning

for portfolio creation,

accreditation

• Training space for faculty to learn
