      (Robert Barton) For ease of reading, these guidelines should be separated, in the same format as your guidelines that are in bold. Also, for the many guidelines that are listed on your page, were there any complimentary graphics that could have been inserted?
  • To elaborate on Johnson, Johnson and Holubec's (1994) five steps for teaching team work skills, the first step is to ensure students see the need for teamwork skills by asking students to suggest the teamwork skills they need to work together effectively and decide what cooperative skills will be emphasized in the lesson. The second step is to ensure students understand what the skill is, how to engage in the skill, and when to used teh skill by operationally defining the skill. The third step is to set up practice situations and encourage mastery of the skill. To master a skill students need to practice it again and again. The fourth step ensures that all students receive feedback on their use of the skill and reflect on how to engage in the skill more effectively in the future. Lastly, the fifth step ensures that students persevere in practicing the skill until it seems to be a natural actions. Students should continuosly improve their teamwork skills by refining, modifying, and adapting them.

      The notion of "modeling" the desired behaviors is invaluable; maybe having a mock session in front of the students, "performed" by other students that are experienced in CL, would be something to try, especially with f2f courses. How to demonstrate for onliners....I guess a recorded session, maybe one that worked well, another that didn't...? michele wirt

      One semester, I had the class participate in an online team debate using the threaded discussion forums. And two students in the class were instructed by me (and given the go ahead) to act and behave in ways that violated some of the rules of etiquette. The remaining students were instructed to apply group management skills to respond to the violators in ways that helped to manage each situation in ways that helped to sustain (rather than block) further discussion. --Allan

      It would also be nice to see this series of steps re-written for instructors eaching in online environments. Or, present this guideline in more generic terms so that it applies to both F2F and online teaching.
  • Guideline 7.1 - Follow the Dick and Carey model. The flow of information will be two - way. As you create an area, you will seek feedback and evaluation. This will enable you to perfect that area and move on to the next in order to do the same.Guideline 7.2 - Use the steps from Willis' model - Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate. These stages form a never ending circle - begin at the part that is most comfortable and most applicable for your specific situation.

      I would present the last sentence at the beginning of the guideline (instead of at the end) to firmly establish the importance and purpose of the guideline. The next guidelines, 7.2, does not appear to present a clear purpose or function.

      I tried to post the model diagram but was unable to make it work. I ended up with a big blank box so I deleted it. I also attempted to insert a link to the diagram online but again when I followed the link I ended up at a big blank box. I'm not sure why.

  • Guideline 8.1 - You can gain expertise in structuring effective collaborative learning experiences over time through a process of constant refinement of each collaborative lesson. The process requires reflection to assess the strengths and limitations of the lesson, insight and creativity to build on strengths and to devise strategies for making appropriate changes, and perseverance to keep trying to improve. In summary, transfer and maintenance are the keys to greater expertise.
    • Kenisha Thompson
      Kenisha Thompson on 05 Jun 07
       
      Place the guideline, "Transfer and maintenance are the keys to greater expertise," at the beginning of the paragraph. Placing the elaboration/explanation points at the end rather than the beginning allows readers to identify the main point of the guideline up front.

      What is the relationship between this section and the sections before and after it. I notice that the items before and after are numbered Guidelines 1.5 (then the highlighted text is insterted) Guidelines 1.6. Consider rearranging these and putting the highlighted text after, unless it was here for a purpose. If so, perhpas it should be given a guildine number.

      I am the author of the highlighted section, and i must say this must have been an oversight on my part. I agree that this section should be moved to Guideline 1.7 because the last sentence highlighted beginning with "According to Salmons" does not belong here. I have a question for Dr. Jeong, when should we revise our report to reflect the comments we received from our fellow classmates?

      It may be unfair of me to say this, but it seems like this section contains an etxteremly long entry consisting of 6 guidelines that are essentially pages 57-61 of the Johnson and Johnson book. Were our guidlines limited to around 200 words. If so, should they be lengthened for cases like this where there simply is not enough space to get everything in? OR... is there a way to summarize all of this content into a briefer guildine or two?
    • mnwestbrook

      There seems be a lot of information in this section of the report becuase there was a lot of articles to gather information from. Interpersonal skills, constructive criticism, debates, and constructive criticism regarding debates are important social and teamwork skills we believe are necessary for collaborative learning. How would you suggest we go about simplifying this material without losing valuable informaiton?

      Dr. Jeong removed all of the word limitations from the directions for this assignment. While you are correct that this section contains a lot of information, I agree with Motorya that it would be difficult to eliminate areas without eliminating necessary elements.

      Does DAT only work with Blackboard or will it analyze any type of posting forum feeds? Dr. Jeong, I suppose this is a quesiton for you if you happen to come across it.

      According to Dr. Jeong's article on Discussion Analysis Tool, the minimum software requirements for DAT is MS Excel with Macro security set at low or medium level, therefore, DAT can be used with any program that supports MS Excel.

  • Guideline 4.2 Self-assessment can be used to assess the student's understanding of content. Below are possible self-assessment techniques (Oosterhof 1994): - Self-quizzes with automatic feedback - Reflective journals - Checklist (to determine if they are mastering content) - Team member evaluation form (used as a self-check to judge their own performance as collaborators or tem members)
    • jgentile
      jgentile on 05 Jun 07
       
      Consider rewriting as an instrucitonal guideline. For example: "Have students assess their content understanding with self assessment techniques like "Self Quizes," "Reflective Journals", "Content Mastery Checklists" and "Team member evaluation forms."

      Thanks for adding the numbering system to the questions and guidelines! I think it makes the document much easier to browse and easier to identify the various sections and subsections. I still think, though, that we need to add indentations to clearly demark each section and subsection. Good job laying out the steps in formulating a guidelines. :-)

      This looks like another separate guideline. Maybe you could number if Guidelines 1.1b. If so, number the guidelines above as Guidelines 1.1a?

      I think that this part (guidelines for constructive criticism) is redundant with Guideline 1.2 below. I suggest that this part can be combined with Guideline 1.2 which consists of guidelines on how to prepare students in how to engage in constructive criticism.

      mnwestbrook on 06 Jun 07
       
      From the way it is written, the article is summarized first and then the guidelines are stated below the article. I agree that the report could be better organized in listing both the summary of the article and the guidelines together so that it won't be so confusing to viewers.
  • major challenges associated with the use of self assessmen

      Sya Azmeela Shariff on 06 Jun 07
       
      My comment is that the methods for assessing learning (Q4) should be separate with the challenges associated with the methods. Instead of writing the contents under Guideline 4.11, I suggest that this part of the content regarding 'the challenges associated with the use of self assessment' should be written under a new topic called 'Major challenges associated..'.
    • heidis
      heidis on 06 Jun 07
       
      That is a good suggestion. I think that the reason we did not separate the two is because the question directly asks that we address both the methods and challenges - we probably just thought that since the question covered both, we would respond to both in the same section. I like your suggestion though - it would be nice to not have quite so many guidelines under this question!!
  • four levels of cooperative skills listed above are: 1. Forming skills: staying with a group and not wandering around the rooms, using quiet voices, taking turns, and using each other's names. 2. Functioning skills: giving one's ideas and conclusions, providing direction to the group's work, and encouraging everyone to participate. 3. Formulating skills: explaining step-by-step one's reasoning and relating what is being studied to previous learning. 4. Fermenting skils: criticizing ideas (not people) and not changing one's minds unless logically persuaded to do so (majority rule does not promote learning).

      It seems to me that these 4 levels of cooperative skills are not hierarchical in nature. Am I right to say that in order for a group to be successful, its members have to possess all 4 sets of skills? In that case, I wonder if "sets" instead of "levels" will make more sense? I know that the txtbk presented it as "levels'....
    • Sharisse Turnbull
      Sharisse Turnbull on 10 Jun 07
       
      The levels are hierarchial in terms of the mental complexity of the task. The first level of skills is the least complex. For instance: It is "easier" to 'use a quiet voice', or 'take turns', than it is to 'explain step-by-step on'es reasoning'. Each level also includes a variety of skills. I will try to clarify the guideline by writing: Level 1 - Forming skills (meaning level one includes the set of forming skills). I hope this helps.
  • It is difficult for students to learn the above skills. With this in mind, it is important that the instructor to: 1. Help students to understand why they need to practice the skill. A role-play could be used to help students to see the difference between when they use the skill and when they do not. 2.Explain what is entailed in the skill. Basically, "demonstrate, model, and explain" (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec 1994). 3. Provide students with opportunities to practice the skill. Instructors should record when the skill is used and give students cues as to when the skill as necessary. 4. Give students opportunities to reflect on using the skill and provide you with feedback. 5. "Repeat 3 & 4 frequently!” (Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec 1994). Students can learn these skills with plenty of practice and reflection!
    • puaypeowng
      puaypeowng on 06 Jun 07
       
      Although I know that it is recommended for the instructor to conduct seperate series of sessions for the students to practice the skills one by one, I wonder if it is feasible for the skills to be paired up or even combined into one complete package for the students to practice all of them at the same time. Especially since forming skills seemed to be the "ground rules", it might be more meaningful if the students practice together with another level of skills.
  • Develop patterns such as reciprocity, compensation, and dominance in online conversations.

      Sharisse Turnbull on 10 Jun 07
       
      I reviewed the source of this information and the text does not provide much explanation of these patterns. She (Burgoon) included these terms at the end of a paragraph without expounding upon them. Perhaps the information can be found in earlier chapters of the text (which were not given access to). The person who posted this guideline may be able to give you more insight as to why they chose to start with this sentence.
    • melissa wilson

      (Melissa Wilson) Clarification would be beneficial Based on the text and Burgoon's research, the patterns of reciprocity, compensation and dominance are vital to online conversations. These terms were introduced, but an explanation and/or example would be beneficial for further understanding based on their importance.
  • Guideline 4.3 - Give groups opportunities to reflect on how they are functioning by providing Periodic and regular group processing opportunities. During this process students will be in a position to make changes to group patterns and relationships in order to be more successful. Group processing and review are mechanisms for revealing issues effecting the learning community or cooperative group.“Sharan (1990) also emphasizes the importance group management techniques and skills for the success of small cooperative learning goals” (McConnel p.135).
    • Sharisse Turnbull
      Sharisse Turnbull on 10 Jun 07
       
      Thru group processing, members may reveal issues that they can resolve amongst themselves.  For example, schedules, pace, roles, and attitudes can typically be worked out amongst the members. The instructor may need to get involved in more serious issues, such as when someone is simply not cooperating and hurting the group; or, when the group cannot come to a resolution and requests a mediator.

      (Melissa Wilson) Guideline 4.6 Clarification: I understand what you are saying under the guideline on group reviews, but does Sharan advise that students typically make the changes (as stated) or that instructors typically make adjustments when needed? Are these merely self-assessments or are they instructor assessments which impact grading?
