Collaborative Learning • Collaborative learning supports modern paradigms on learning: – Deeper level learning (Biggs 1987) – Shared understanding/ knowledge (Mulder, Swaak, & Kessels 2002) – Critical thinking (Bullen 1998) • Combined with an authentic context: – Social construction of knowledge (Jonassen 1992, 1994) – Competence-based learning (Keen 1992) Hierarchical vs. Collaborative Model Collaborative Model Hierarchical Model � Students and teachers • Teachers detain are, at the same time, knowledge while producers and students consume consumers of knowledge knowledge • Instructional � Instructional methods methods based on based on teams of memorization of students working information and together toward a individual study common goal Collaborative Learning Activities • Discussions • Games/ Simulations • Case studies • Discussion groups – Response papers • Brainstorming • Group projects – Service-learning projects
Basics of Network Measures • Centrality – Degree – Closeness – Betweenness – Flow Betweenness • Cliques & Sub-groups – N-cliques – N-Clans Friendship Analysis (Before) Work Network (Before)
Friendship Network (After) Work Network (After) Conclusion • In the network model the entire community becomes engaged in an informed process of risk reduction and response • Advanced technologies can be used to build “intelligent communities” that will recognize and response to extreme events quickly and interorganizational efforts coordinated • Students may learn more from interacting with other students than listening to instructors • One of the best methods of gaining clearer, long- lasting understanding is explaining to someone else
