My Main Points*
• We learn from others, via dialogue. [3,4]• Computers increase dialogue, a lot. [5]• The most powerful way to use computers to increase
learning is to strengthen communication and collaboration. [6]
• Many of the most effective techniques have short learning curves. [7]
• Let me share a few of these techniques from my own teaching. [8] *#’s refer to slides

From the times of Craft Guilds & Small Towns
we have “known” that ---
• Most learning is collaborative• Frequent feedback increases learning • Loyalty-to-group motivates learning• More time on task usually
means more learning
