Enhancing Collaborative Learning through Online Pilot Programs: Insights from Multiple Universities

DESCRIPTION

This study outlines the findings from an online pilot project conducted by participants from Auburn University, Hofstra University, and Utah State University. It addresses the challenges of traditional and distance classrooms, emphasizing the importance of transactional distance and equivalent experiences for diverse populations. Through the application of Web 2.0 tools like forums and wikis, the project fosters community learning and shared knowledge. Participants provided feedback on course structure, assessment methods, and engagement strategies, highlighting the potential for improved collaboration and student support.

  1. Collaborative Learning On-Line Pilot Findings from an Inter-Program Project

  2. Participants • Auburn University (Randy McDaniel) • Hofstra University (Andrea Perkins) • Utah State University (Michael Millington)

  3. Background • The Traditional/Distance Classroom Challenge • Transactional distance & Equivalent experience • Identifiably different populations • The Guidance of Theory • Community Learning • The Opportunity of Technology • Web 2.0 Thinking • Virtual Community Center (NCRTM)

  4. Plan • Collaborating Assessment Classes • Minimal coordination of syllabi • Minimal ground rules • Applied Tools • Forum • Wiki • Course Evaluation • Focus Group • Survey

  5. Course Page

  6. Forum Page

  7. Forum Topics • Celebrating Diversity • Assessment Stories • Ethics Shmethics • Resources and Links • Value Drive Profession • Professionalization • Voc Eval: Tools of Oppression? • Support Systems • Test Accommodations • Safe Place • O*NET • Business Perspective (student) • Deaf Community • Recovery Model • Changing Science and Practice

  8. Forum Observations • Story Telling • Self Disclosure • Identify Problems and solutions (A-B-C) • Examples • Report Facts • Start own Topic • Cross Cohort dialog • Pro X Student • Student X Student • Pro X Pro • Respond to each other • Validate • Emotional Support • Emotional response • Interpret • Build upon • Summarize • Challenge or disagree • Ask Questions • Answer questions • Threads (5:1:1:1:1) • Share Resources

  9. WIKI

  10. WIKI • Procedure • Log in • Pick topic • Research & post • Edit other entries • Observations • Students reticent to edit • Quality submittals • Not as popular as the forums

  11. Course Evaluation: Focus Group • Feedback & Brainstorming • Wiki • Forum • Other Resources • Planning for Improvement • Prioritize • Organize • Next Step

  12. Focus Group Themes: Feedback WIKI Forum Newbies have fewer stories Time Intensive Valuable Networking Affective Connections With people Through stories Too many emails • Shared expertise across levels of experience • Lack of exposure to format • Suspect reputation • Huge potential as a resource • Professionals • Textbook

  13. Focus Group: Improvements WIKI Forums More networking activities More Student led threads Focus & coordinate topics with syllabi One topic per week, one topic at a time Structured vs.open topics? Teach students to post • Control and supervise editing • Expert Panel Review • Set and train ground rules • Student run, collaborate across programs • Link to other resources • Start WIKI at beginning of class • Open non-editing use to others.

  14. Focus Group: Other Resources • Student presentations • Live cross-campus chat • Bulletin board • Facebook mentoring • Test review libraries • Asynchronous training modules • Report writing, etc. • Test administration videos (?) • Student testing over the internet (?) • Instrument development (project) • Field interviews • Case studies, documents, links

  15. Satisfaction Survey • N = 23 • Scale 1 - 6 • 9 CRC Knowledge domains: 4.6 • WIKI: 4.5 (knowledge satisfaction r = .50) • Forum: 5.0 (knowledge satisfaction r = .61)

  16. Next Steps & QA • Site development • Course coordination • Research design & publication • Recruit new players • Questions?
