WHAT IS EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION

1.COLLABORATION

Students work together in pairs or groups to: discuss an issue, solve a problem and create a product.

2.KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION

Activities that require knowledge construction  ask students to interpret, analyse, synthesize or evaluate information or ideas.

The main requirement is the part of the activity that students  spend the most time and effort on and the part  that educators focus on when granding.  

3.REAL-WORLD PROBLEM SOLVING AND INNOVATION

Problem-solving involves a task with a defined challenge for the student: develop a solution, complete a task, design a complex product that meets a set of requirements.

4.USE OF ICT FOR LEARNING

5.SELF-REGULATION

A learning activity is considered long term if students work on it for a substantive period of time.

When students plan their own work, they make decisions about the schedule and steps they will follow to accomplish the task. Planning their own may involve deciding HOW, WHEN, WHO, WHERE.

Have the opportunity to revise their work based on feedback.

6.SKILLED COMUNICATION

Extended communication, communication multi-modal, required supporting evidence, design their communication for a particular audience.
