Enhancing Peer-‐Learning Using Smart Devices Dr. Zahed Siddique1, Dr. Gül E. Okudan Kremer2 and Dr. Firas Akasheh3 Our approach is to capitalize on the research findings on linkages between higher-‐order thinking and peer learning to create and evaluate a learning environment, entitled Teaching to Learn (TeatoL). TeatoL blends mobile smart devices and traditional approaches to enhance critical thinking and competencies essential for students to solve open-‐ended problems. TeatoL will be setup to provide students to gain experience; capture, review and improve competencies to solve open-‐ended problems in a collaborative setting. The main objective is to understand, develop, implement and evaluate a peer learning environment utilizing mobile technologies and devices. The focus will be on peer learning mode, where students will be instructors to share their experience and then learn from fellow student instructors. Students will be introduced to a “flatter” instructional environment where they will learn from the experiences of other students to enhance their own learning and to enhance their problem solving competency and critical thinking. In this proposed environment all participants will have dual roles as students and instructors who are embedded in a collaborative environment where all learn collectively from each others’ experiences, even the instructor. 1 – University of Oklahoma 2 – Pennsylvania State University 3 – Tuskegee University
