| Google Wave: Some practicalities. by ◀ |
Getting students to join! need to have account/ to be invited / have to get them into a Google group. Ensuring all students can find the waves. Accessibility issues?? Could dyslexic students get confused? Does it work with studnets who need screen readers? Can text be enlarged for students who have limited vision How about students with aspergers - too chaotic?? Students who don't have access issues ... but just don't like it! Usability on handheld devices?? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

For instance, what are the things you have learned here by simply asking questions? Isn't asking great questions is a great collaboration tool? Couldn't that be one of the primary behaviours for high level engagement? Isn't listening with resonance another great collaborative tool? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Who helps people learn how to ask great questions to frame what you truly want to learn? Who helps people learn how to use their imagination as a collaborative tool? Who helps people learn how to listen with resonance? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||

Indeed, do we think that wave is a good *collaborative* tool, or is it more of a discourse tool? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: Tools! by ◀ |
So if the tools are going to be changing and new ones coming along... shouldn't we focus more on the pedagogical approaches to using the tools? And then "play" with the tools to implement the approach? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

What learning experiences or processes are enhanced by a tool like Wave? What is the "cost-benefit ratio" in time, effort and frustration versus some kind of productivity? Where would we recommend it and why? What type of support would it need? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

I'm also fascinated in watching the activity in our SCoPE Waves by the willingness of participants to jump in with quick, short replies and with new questions and observations. Why is that? Does it feel different than a forum? Less worry about noise? I often think that's a barrier in mailing lists and forums where members are subscribed by email. We're so concerned about INBOXES these days! | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

discussion: What exactly *is* collaboration?◀ | |||||
| What exactly *is* collaboration? by ◀ |
This reminded me of something that I was thinking about before we started - what exactly do we mean by "collaboration"? It's a term we use a lot; yet what is it? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Is a discussion on a forum collaboration, or merely a discussion? Suppose that leads then to a shared conference paper? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| What about the website where everyone does their own page & someone just links them all together? Collaboration or not? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| How about the slide show where one person selects the slides, another the music (and iMovie sorts out how long before the next picture pops up!) | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| Does collaboration have to focus on the creation of something "real" (or virtual!) or can that something be a shared idea / vision? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | |||
| Re: What exactly *is* collaboration? by ◀ |
I agree that Moodle is a good site for *discussion* - would you say it's also good for *collaboration* - or do we need something else? (But, of course, it comes back to what we understand by collaboration itself. And I'm not sure on that one!) | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
| Re: What exactly *is* collaboration? [an investment of time] by ◀ |
Is this a discussion about distance learning or campus based learning? Is this really a discussion of collaboration or tools? Are we talking about staff or student development? Where is that context? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
