Purpose – In this paper, the authors aim to explore how students learn how to learn in a team-based graduate course Designing for Open Innovation using a theoretical framework that focuses on the cognitive functions of team-based processes and team performance. Design/methodology/approach – An automated assessment methodology for the structural and semantic analysis of individual and shared kno...

this study examined the effects of cooperative learning techniques (clt) on vocabulary achievement of reflective/impulsive iranian efl learners. from among 130 students at fajr institute in dehdasht, kohkiloyeh and boyer ahmad province, iran, 90 participants were selected based on their performance on the oxford placement test (opt). the participants were then divided into two experimental grou...

This study focused on an assessment process and cross-disciplinary team learning framework potentially useful in the design of collaborative environments for project teams. This following research questions addressed were: 1) Did individual self assessment of skills, abilities and attitudes match with perceived team goals; 2) Did teams believe they acquired the resources and support required to...

Losada (1999) observed management teams develop their annual strategic plans in a lab designed for studying team behavior. Based on these findings he developed a dynamical model of team interaction and introduced the concept of Meta Learning (ML) which represents the ability of a team to avoid undesirable attractors. This paper analyzes the dynamic model in more detail and discusses the relatio...

Information Systems Development (ISD) is fast moving, knowledge-intensive and requires a substantive amount of teamwork. In order to develop quality software, teams need to leverage the skills and knowledge of each team member. ISD teams who engage in learning at a group level can perform more effectively and efficiently. However, relative to other disciplines, knowledge and literature about te...

Multiagent systems present many challenging, real-world problems to artificial intelligence. Because it is difficult to engineer the behaviors of multiple cooperating agents by hand, multiagent learning has become a popular approach to their design. While there are a variety of traditional approaches to multiagent learning, many suffer from increased computational costs for large teams and the ...

In this paper we present RETALIATE, an online reinforcement learning algorithm for developing winning policies in team firstperson shooter games. RETALIATE has three crucial characteristics: (1) individual BOT behavior is fixed although not known in advance, therefore individual BOTS work as “plugins”, (2) RETALIATE models the problem of learning team tactics through a simple state formulation,...

Web-based education and training programs are becoming widely offered at education institutions and companies today. The new electronic learning, or e-learning, systems employed by these programs may also be used by work teams at organizations for facilitating creative energy in a virtual context to increase team performance. Various features such as discussion boards, virtual classrooms, digit...

In this paper, we propose a team formation methodology based on cooperative learning teams, adopted from the area of educational research. Cooperative learning is a type of learning where students work in teams and learn through team-based interactions. In education, research in assigning students to appropriate teams and enforcing fair assessment of student performance in a team have generated...
