Audio Online Seminar Available On-Demand Monday, December 15, 2008 - Friday, January 16, 2009 $124
Use the time between semesters for professional development! Magna is pleased to offer this seminar on-demand, at your convenience, anytime between December 15, 2008 - January 16, 2009. We've lowered the price considerably to allow you to view it from your home computer, or gather colleagues on campus to watch it together - the price is the same for one person or a whole crowd.
Research tells us that learners benefit when they collaborate in teams. This teamwork helps develop learners critical thinking skills, increases their persistence, and improves their understanding of diversity.
Yet students consistently rate collaborative teamwork negatively. Students accustomed to being given the right answers in lectures are often impatient with the collaborative process. To make matters worse, many instructors do not offer adequate guidance on how to work together productively.
This seminar will examine barriers that prevent the successful use of collaborative teams in and out of the classroom and suggest methods for avoiding these pitfalls. In just 60 minutes, it will show you how to incorporate assessment and manage your teams while promoting shared responsibility for learning. The methods will work in both large and small classes.
You'll learn how to:
Avoid the pitfalls of collaborative team learning
Encourage all team members to take responsibility for teamwork
Incorporate self-reflection and assessment into the teaming process
Use different methods to put your teams together
Address learning differences among students
Handle students who slack off
Use teams in large classrooms
Who should attend:
Faculty, especially those who are interested in introducing collaborative teaming into a course
Faculty development personnel
Department chairs
Academic deans
Vice presidents for academic affairs
Graduate-level teaching assistants
