Results from Wake Forest

Faculty Survey Results from Wake Forest ===83% say “computers are effective for communicating with students about class related work ===91% say “computers are effective for communicating with faculty colleagues

Student Survey Results from Wake Forest ===72% say “computers are effective for communicating with other students about class related work” ===84% say “computers are effective for communicating with faculty about class related work” ===53% interact more with faculty, up from 32%

Computers Enhance My Teaching and/or Learning Via-- Presentations Better--20% More Opportunities to Practice & Analyze--35% More Access to Source Materials via Internet--43% More Communication with Faculty Colleagues, Classmates, and Between Faculty and Students--87%

Computers allow people---- to belong to more communities to be more actively engaged in each community with more people over more miles for more months and years TO BE MORE COLLABORATIVE

The paradigm shift is the increase in team learning, in collaboration as the standard method for study and work It is not computers! Computers are means only.

The Case for Collaborative Learning #1 Virtually all of the learning gain from computers stems from improved communication--- Testimony of Wake Forest students and faculty. #2 Computers haven’t improved learning. Computers have enabled more collaboration. More collaboration has improved learning! #3 The boom in collaborative learning is directly attributable to three very powerful “tools for collaboration” that weren’t around until the computer appeared. #4 Use of these three tools is easily learned. Spend your time on these 3 tools. Leave the fancier (more expensive, more difficult) stuff for later! Your students will feel the results immediately!
