The course was focused on helping the students explore approachesto reading published scholarship and develop their own scholarly reading practice. The coursewas taken by a student who documented her experiences in a reflection journal. Against thisbackdrop, this paper uses

His work focused on the development of K-12 teacher abilities to use technology for teaching and learning. His recent research has focused on distance learning and collaboration through telepresence. One key aspect of this work is the study of embodied content for learning and collaboration. Embodied content includes collaborative textual environments as well as augmented/mixed reality. Other research includes idea-centered teaching and learning.Cui Cheng, Michigan State University Cui Cheng is a doctoral candidate in the Educational Psychology and Educational Technology program at Michigan

It is primarily a call to consider how students engage in their college experience,and to search for proper tools that can be deployed to stimulate learning.In moving forward, there are numerous tools available to select from, including the modelspredicated on cooperation; i.e., working together to accomplish shared goals. Withincooperative activities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefitall other group members. (2, 3) Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners have shownthat positive peer relations are essential to success in college. The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial totoday’s learning communities. They increase the

Withrespect to active learning, there are many interrelated vocabulary, e.g. collaborative learning, cooperativelearning, problem-based learning (PBL). Collaborative learning and peer tutoring in the university environmentcan positively influence students to maintain a constant motivation and affection towards their study (Concetta2018). Collaborative learning and cooperative learning are different, for they have distinct historicaldevelopments and different philosophical roots (Bruffee,1995).

For the participant, one hour is a reasonable amount of time to find in their day and there arerarely any follow-up requirements. Thus, there is very little risk of making a bad time investmentfor the learner, and the instructional team has a lot of flexibility in repeating the training andexperimenting with content.
