New Technologies for Collaborative Learning

Abstract

Collaborative learning may be either facilitated or impeded by the environment, tools and methods provided to students. We present the results of our experimentation with new technologies for collaborative learning within and beyond the classroom. This includes sharing our experiences in the university's new collaborative classrooms and with distance learning tools. Across fields of marketing and of environmental science and policy, we identify what worked and what didn't, then provide some guidance and lessons learned. Our session closes with peer-to-peer discussion and Q&A regarding potential best practices.
