Building Communities--Strategies for Collaborative Learning - 2002 - ASTD

Suggests communities support collaboration

collab-bk-collaboration collaboration

E-learning communities are groups of people connected solely via technology. All interactions begin and occur over the Internet, through conference calls, via videoconferencing, and so forth. These communities promote virtual collaboration that's focused on addressing a specific topic, and they are supported by one or more online learning and media tools.
Blended learning communities integrate online learning and face-to-face meetings. Two core assumptions of this type of community are 1) deep personal relationships between learners create richer collaborative learning experiences and 2) relationships between learners can be strengthened through structured group interactions that employ technology before and/or after a face-to-face learning event.

- For example, a leadership development program might include an ice-breaker community to provide prework and introduce participants, a face-to-face experiential workshop to help clarify and define individual development objectives, and a follow-up community that focuses on coaching and mentoring to overcome challenges as participants achieve their objectives.
- Whether creating a community for e-learning or one that supports a blended learning approach, community builders must consider a variety of factors related to people, group processes, and technology--if they're to design and orchestrate online environments that inspire collaborative learning.

At it's simplest
level, collaboration may be simply sharing information with another person,
department, or organization...at it's most advanced level, collaboration
involves unifying communication processes and content and establishing
forums for accessing resources and building content and value together.
An effective collaborative project that is sustained may involve into
more complex relationships and purposes

Comment on Social Presence in Online learning indicating distinct categories of online collaboration during coursework

collab-bk-collaboration

We can divide this 'social presence' into two categories, I feel... (a) the interaction which is graded as part of the collaborative learning process, involving discussions amongst participants and comments on the content of others' posts. There are obviously elements of quantity and quality to be considered here.... and (b) the kind of interaction which takes place spontaneously (and is not graded by the e-tutor)... where participants simply share useful info or their personal feelings about a particular topic, thus establishing affective links not only with the other learners, but also with the e-tutors.

"An Historical Perspective on Collaborative Learning" (article)

JAC Volume 14 Issue 1
An Historical Perspective on Collaborative Learning

collaborative learning history Gaillet Lynée Lewis student-assisted learning collab-bk collab-bk-collaboration writing peer-reviews

Jardine was intensely
concerned about the integrity of language, the separation of writing and
speaking from communication, and methodologies that concentrated simply
on correctness rather than on the social nature of writing.
Jardine believed that the role of the teacher must change for a new teaching
plan to succeed. No longer could instructors simply convey information
in a teacher-centered lecture. Rather, the responsibility of learning
should be shared by both the teacher and students.
8 more annotations...
- Jardine was aware of the increased work load his new plan created for
  the teachers of large classes
- In an effort to shorten the time needed to
  evaluate essays and to shift responsibility for learning back to the student,
  Jardine encourages teachers to abandon the practice of "exposing" every
  error on a paper and instead to direct the student "to those parts of
  his theme which require farther attention, and to the general nature of
  the defects which have been noted" (364). He explains that not only does
  this method of correcting themes decrease grading time but it also encourages
  students to improve and revise. In addition, students gain confidence
  in their ability to write:
- to ensure that all student writing is not only evaluated but also written
  for a specific audience, Jardine developed a method of peer review, which
  he asserts brings about "incalculable advantages which cannot be obtained
  in any other way" (367). He explains that peer review allows all students
  to receive individual attention, weaker students to learn from stronger
  ones, and all students to improve their own writing by increasing their
  powers of criticism (366, 371).
- Because this plan was successful not only in decreasing his own grading
  load but also in improving the work of the examinators, Jardine decided
  to extend the privilege of being an examinator to everyone in the class
  so that each student could be given "an opportunity for exercising his
  powers of criticism" (371).
- Jardine's peer review plan illustrates two of the most prominent theories
  of modern collaborative learning: (1) that both weak and strong students
  can benefit from a peer-editing system, and (2) that learning is a social
  act.
- In fact, the students' respect for one another is the cornerstone of
  Jardine's plan for peer review. He stresses the importance of mutual respect
  among students as he outlines each part of his peer-learning plan and
  states repeatedly that "young persons will always prove docile and reasonable,
  when they feel that they are treated with candour, with kindness, and
  without any undue partialities" (373).
- Jardine claims that collaborative work should be an integral part
  of every classroom because it prepares students for normal discourse in
  business, government and the professions, which is both written within
  and addressed to status equals. Although never explicitly using terms
  such as "community" and "social context," Jardine fosters collaborative
  work among his students by creating a sense of community and responsibility
  in his classroom. In Jardine's plan, all students participate in the peer-learning
  procedures of the class, and all are responsible to each other under the
  rules of participation. Unless they adhere to the rules of the community
  and remain loyal and respectful to each other, the students will be banished
  from involvement within the community of their peers and denied any advantage
  associated with participation:
- We would currently
  label Jardine's work "practitioner research," a form of inquiry which
  historically has been undervalued.

Online Communities of Practice [for ELT]

This thought-provoking slide show defines communities of practice (CoPs), compares F2F and online CoPs, includes a quotation that seems to misconstrue cooperation as collaboration (slide 12), and provides illustrations of online CoPs in various venues.
