1 Collaboration as learning
1 Why should students collaborate? In recent years, learning has been reconceptualized from an additive process characterized by an individual's acquisition of knowledge to a socially-enabled developmental process. Collaboration is the social process that supports learners' development of capabilities in which they learn to do without assistance things that they could initially do only with assistance. If learning really is a social process, then collaboration is required. The assistance that learners require may be provided by experts such as teachers and by peers, who collectively have expertise distributed among them.

2 What can students learn by collaborating? By collaborating, students can develop their potential for learning. Specifically, students can learn to approach and solve new problems so that they develop the capability to solve problems that do not exist at the moment of learning. Rather than simply absorbing material, learning rules, and displaying the material and rules on demand, students learn to develop capabilities that they first experience in assisted or collaborative learning situations. -
The teacher's role shifts from being a deliverer of material to a designer and facilitator of learning experiences. The new role for teachers is more creative and more demanding than the earlier one.

Stage the first collaborative activities in ways that build swift trust among group members so they can get to work on the task to attain useful results quickly, which encourages subsequent collaboration. Swift trust is especially important to virtual groups (Meyerson et al. 1996).

How do I get students to collaborate, especially ones not used to doing so? To entice students to collaborate, it is helpful to: Shift course situations and reward structures to encourage students to view interactions with peers as indispensable learning resources (sample class). Assign tasks that are suitable for collaboration, i.e., tasks that require the integration rather than just the accumulation of ideas. Make the collaborative aspects of a course sufficiently large that students cannot safely ignore them. Stage the first collaborative activities in ways that build swift trust among group members so they can get to work on the task to attain useful results quickly, which encourages subsequent collaboration. Swift trust is especially important to virtual groups (Meyerson et al. 1996). Have student groups make the results of their collaboration visible to other student groups, e.g., on the Web (sample directions for publishing in WebCT). 2What do I do about free-riding and other dysfunctional group behaviors?Here are ideas for deterring dysfunctional behaviors in groups and addressing such behaviors before they become fatal: Form term-long groups to make it more worthwhile for students to invest in their groups. Require student groups to make the results of their collaboration visible to other student groups, e.g., on the Web (sample directions for publishing in WebCT). The awareness of peers examining their work is sufficient to prompt many students to apply themselves to group tasks more diligently. Require group members to commit to learning and task responsibilities at the beginning of a task (sample learning plan) and make the task plan and progress on it visible to all members of the class. Afford students ways to monitor their group processes, e.g., periodic surveys whose group means are made available to all class members for all groups in aspects such as: Team processes (e.g., Faidley et al. 2000) Threats to team functioning (e
