  8. Driving Question What are the benefits of and barriers tocreating collaborative learning spaces?

  9. Goals • Discuss challenges and opportunities of creating collaborative learning spaces on college campuses through the review of several case studies. • Model experience of transforming a (somewhat) traditional classroom into a collaborative space.

  10. Format • Discuss pre-questions to guide our thinking • Present case studies • Review in groups and then report out • Write a paper for conference proceedings

  11. Disclaimer • Experts • Focus on Physical (not Virtual)

  12. Introductions • Name • School • Address one of following • Celebration of a unique/successful collaborative learning space on your campus. • What is a current need on campus that is not addressed by existing learning spaces?

  18. Question What is the primary challengeon your campus to developing or maintaining collaborative learning spaces? • Technology obsolescence • Static buildings • Resources ($$, staff) • Adoption by users/demand • Others???

  19. Technology – Broadly Defined • Personal Response Systems (clickers) • Social media integration (blogs, wikis, etc.) • Collaborative software availability (Tidebreak, Google Docs) • Furniture setup/mobility • Group writing spaces (whiteboards, blackboards) • Presentation technology • Media portal (to access external content)

  20. Case Study • University of Dayton Marianist Hall • University of MN Active Learning Classroom

  21. Case Study • What are the benefits of this space that you think would be realized by your school? • What challenges would be involved in adopting this space at your school? • How would you see this space being adapted/improved at your institution?

  22. Conclusion(s) • Summarizing conversation • Writing paper for proceedings

  23. Parting Question The reality is that collaboration is about pedagogy more than technology, however, the facilitation of a particular teaching approach is often dependent on technology to some degree. Based on our conversation, how dependent are we on technology to create engaging, collaborative learning spaces?
