Reading: Promoting Collaborative Learning
Instructions: In this week's readings Palloff and Pratt (2007) discuss the importance of discussing real life experiences as part of course activities and discussions. The focus of this week's module is collaborative learning. Some scholars would say that collaborative learning prepares students for the real-world collaborative work environment. Think back to your collaborative work experiences and those in an academic course. Answer the following questions:
- What are the similarities and differences?
- Do you believe that your collaborative academic experiences adequately prepared you for real-world work experiences? Why or why not?
Post your thoughts as a response to the this blog question by Friday.
