Students should be given the experience of engaging with each other in team projects, preferably situated in the world outside the classroom, with the goal of constructing a product that is useful or interesting to someone other than the teacher. This relate-create-donate philosophy emphasizes authentic, service-oriented collaborations that produce intense motivation and positive educational experiences. Multimedia tools empower students to be creative, in a way that is far more compelling that traditional computer assisted instruction. However, it takes teacher initiative to set goals, provide motivation, guide students, and evaluate process and product. This talk reports on my personal explorations of the theory and practice in undergraduate and graduate courses. The potential and challenges of collaborative learning in an advanced Teaching/Learning Theater with 20 networked computers will be presented. The WWW facilities of the Library of Congress' American Memory digital library are an example of the remarkable resources that will empower students and reshape education. | |
