Contribution165. The Space to Collaborate, the Space to Share. As NASA quickly approaches a workforce transformation, a movement has surfaced to not only rethink how the agency shares what it knows, but where.
“Knowledge at NASA doesn’t only live inside people’s heads. Collaboration Versus Autonomy. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on this here blog…I feel like I’ve been reading that phrase a lot lately.
What is it about the winter that makes us all burrow into our respective holes and hide for a few months? In my particular case, I think a lot of it had to do with being the only teacher at my school teaching a newly modified course. Our team has been re-writing the math 2 curriculum this year, and the first trimester was a great example of productive collaboration. It felt great.

Kester. The One and the Many: Contemporary Collaborative Art in a Global Context . Duke University Press, 2011. 309 pp. Collaborative methods of practice are increasingly the norm in contemporary art. Kester’s aim is not to address all collaborative art, but rather to speak to the gap in theoretical discourse employed to discuss such projects. Best Practices in Synchronous Conferencing Moderation. Lynn Anderson , Barb Fyvie , Brenda Koritko , Kathy McCarthy , Sonia Murillo Paz , Mary Rizzuto , Remi Tremblay , and Urel Sawyers Centre for Distance Education Athabasca University – Canada’s Open University Abstract Practical guidelines are offered for the use of online synchronous conferencing software by session administrators and moderators.
The configuration of the software prior to conferencing sessions is discussed, and the planning and implementation of useful collaborative activities such as “synchronised browsing.” The combination of these practices into useful ”patterns” for specific online conferencing purposes is discussed. A) Creating the conference session Elluminate Live is a relatively sophisticated example of online conferencing software, involving a correspondingly complex conference creation procedure (see reports 14 and 19). Faculty Collaboration at a Distance: Using Online Peer Review to Improve Course Design (EDUCAUSE Quarterly.
Key Takeaways Peer review of online courses can be done at a distance using a combination of asynchronous course visits and synchronous discussion with online meeting tools.
This technology-mediated approach gives online faculty the opportunity to experience an unfamiliar course interface from a student's perspective, encourages a focus on design elements distinct from course content, and promotes a feeling of community. IT personnel can enhance this process by providing faculty with archived peer-review sessions and detailed "how to" instructions, while also facilitating their hands-on experience with new technologies. In the summer of 2009 we participated in the inaugural Quality Matters Faculty Development Workshop at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC).
Teaching Faculty how to Use Technology: Best Practices from Leading Institutions. If Only We Knew What We Know: The Transfer of Internal Knowledge and Best ... - Carla S. O'Dell, Nilly Essaides. Eight_Ways_to_Build_Collaborative_Teams%5B1%5D%5B1%5D. Group-to-Group Distance Collaboration: Examining the “Space Between” Organizations are moving towards a new type of work: group-to-group collaboration across distance, supported by technologies that connect rooms across distance into large collaboration spaces.
In this study we report on distributed group-to-group collaboration in the domain of space mission design. We use the metaphor of the “space between” distant groups to describe the connections, interdependencies, and gaps that exist. To the extent that the “space between” remains wide, the risk for design errors increases. We found that different teams, who had different processes and methodologies, were able to form hybrid solutions. However, their hybrid solutions addressed mostly terms and results, and did not address the deeper methodologies that created the results. Viewcontent. How to create and use a PC liaison program.
By Shannon Stein It seems that as the role of the PC evolved in my company’s culture, so did the role of the PC liaison.
The job description has changed over time, but the primary goal has always been the same: providing IT information. Academic Technology Center - ATC/Library Faculty Liaisons. The ATC/Library Faculty Liaison program provides a convenient point of contact for faculty and staff to services.
Each department has a liaison team comprised of Library and Academic Technology Center (ATC) staff. The liaisons work with department faculty and staff to gain an understanding of research and instructional technology needs, make appropriate recommendations, and provide a point of contact for individuals interested in a consultation with ATC, Library, or CCC staff. The Helpdesk continues to be the point of contact for basic computing questions. The Role of Liaisons Listed below are some of the activities of the ATC/Library Faculty Liaisons. Library Liaison activities may include: Connecting with department heads and faculty to provide updates on new library products, online trials, and relevant news. ATC Liaison activities may include: Knowledge_Translation_and_Brokering-Building_Awareness_through_Dialogue. Planning A Collaborative Project. A Collaborative Project involves more than one classroom, group of students, or school in a project in which there is a curricular focus.
Collaboration can occur via email, Skype, distance learning, video conferencing, etc. Educators have many options in order to find collaborative resources and partners. Many resources such as distance learning can help facilitate a collaborative project. There are many projects already created, however there are many ways in which educators can look at their curriculum and find other educators who want to work together to broaden student learning.
Here is an interesting article on collaboration Stronger Together: Make Project Planning a Collaborative Practice Here is a podcast that illustrates several different collaborative projects. Video Conferencing and Collaboration To help prepare for collaboration, look for another teacher who has successfully collaborated. Here are some guidelines to aid in Classroom Management: Ways to dissect curriculum. Untitled.
