A strict definition ofcollaborative learning differentiates a collaborative project from one that merely requirescooperation. In collaborative learning, students work in groups to together develop a sharedunderstanding of and solution for an ill-structured problem14. Teachers are redefined as“coaches” helping students to work towards a set of possible open-ended solutions, and studentstake some ownership of their own learning through reflection. Typically, students learn aboutteam skills in addition to course content. Engestrom5 identified three stages that are characteristicof collaborative learning.

A second conclusionis that both the faculty visitation program and the video recording seem to have certain strengths.This conclusion is born out in the questions where there was a large difference in the responsesas well as through the participants’ comments.McKenna, et al, describe the benefits to teaching provided by collaborative reflection.6 Each ofour participating instructors was invited to review their video with the school’s facultydevelopment center, though none took the opportunity.

This paper's goals are to a) provide a formwork to redesign undergraduate STEMcourses using backward design and active learning pedagogy b) reflect on the obstacles hinderingthe future application of these methods. Student feedback shows that the application of activelearning strategies for formative assessment increases students' engagement, improvescommunication, and provides the students with an opportunity to reflect on their understanding.Implementing the backward design method provides students with clear communication ofexpectations and what they are expected to learn throughout the course.KeywordsActive-learning

For example, a 2D reflection can be implemented by lifting a triangle up out of the 2Dplane into 3D space, flipping it over and putting it down again in the plane [9].
