How can we help students "own" their learning? Leverage social learning theory! Collaborative learning among students on assignments and projects is a high-impact educational practice that can be implemented in a variety of ways in a variety of content areas. Benefits include building authentic work-place skills,exposure to varied perspectives and valuable insights from other students,and the potential to learn more effectively than one could on their own. In this workshop,participants will experience several modes of collaborative learning as we explore the research behind designing top-notch collaborative learning experiences we can implement with our own students. – August 21, 2018
