Sequence Information Sequence: Planning collaboration using the "Co-op,Co-op" method within LAMS Description: The aim of this context free design is to support teachers in their attempts for collaborative learning designs by providing them with well known methods implemented within LAMS.Keywords:Collaboration, Learning Design, Co-op, Co-op,
Subject:Planning Collaboration using the "Co-op, Co-op" method within LAMS
Audience:Teachers, Researchers
Goals: 1) to organise the class, 2) to design activities promoting versatile approaches, 3) to promote plural discussion on learning material, 4) to enrich teacher-student interaction
Process: 1) Division of the problem into team sub-problems, and later into student sub-problems, 2) Sharing of the educational material, 3) Each student prepares his subject, discussing it in class in order to collect more info, 4) Creation of groups, 5) Each student presents their report to their group, 6) Discussion of the connection of the sub-subject to the whole, 7) Preparation of the team report, 8) Presentation in class of group reports.
Remarks on Design: Stop gates were not used for design simplicity
Support files: 1)Documentation 2)The asynchronous version of the "Co-op,Co-op" implementation.
