On 20 October, CTLE hosted a professional development online workshop, ‘Facilitating Collaborative Learning’, in which speakers from Cornell University shared experience and strategies on collaborative learning. Over 50 academic staff members from UM joined the event.

Speakers from the Center for Teaching Innovation at Cornell University, Dr. Robert Vanderlan (Senior Associate Director) and Ms. Rachel Gunderson (Instructional Designer), shared different examples of collaborative learning, benefits and challenges thereof, as well as ways of enhancing student engagement in collaborative learning. Through sharing examples of semester-long group projects from Cornell University, the speakers shared with the audience methods that would help students form teams, for example, ‘team contracts’. Assigning roles and responsibilities for group members is another method that can help students stay on task.

UM colleagues interacted with the speakers via chat and poll and shared their experience of conducting collaborative learning activities.
