Make Engineering Students Collaborate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even today, the majority of university courses still consist of lectures complemented with exercises. Lectures serve to convey theoretical knowledge, whereas in exercises students work on assignments to consolidate the knowledge they have acquired during lectures, and to relate their knowledge to daily practice. Cooperative Knowledge Spaces will support natural learning scenarios in a virtual environment. This paper describes the experiences of a study held to evaluate a cooperative knowledge space equipped with teaching material of a presence lesson.

متن کاملComputer-Supported Collaborative Learning in Support of SMET Undergraduate Retention: A Practice-Oriented CSCL Research Agenda
Project Summary Collaborative learning in general and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) in particular can positively impact student learning. Several studies have shown significant impacts in SMET and other courses [28, 41, 48]. How it impacts student learning is still an open matter. We know that dialog has an impact on student learning [49, 31], but we know that that's not the ...
متن کاملTransforming Computer Engineering Laboratory Courses for Distance Learning and Collaboration*
Distance learning extends classroom access to students who are not physically present in the classroom. There are additional challenges when distance learning is applied in a laboratory environment. These challenges come from two broad categories: the ways in which students collaborate/communicate and the ways to virtualize the devices they use. In this investigation, a real-time collaborative ...
