1. CITRIS
Educational Technology Breakout John Canny, Pat Mantey, Mike Clancy, Jim Slotta, Ben Yoo, James Landay
September 18th, 2001

2. Goals of this breakout:
Review best practices and research explorations in educational tech. on campus.
Find opportunities for collaboration and leverage for/by other CITRIS research

3. Tele-laboratories Labs provide a rich learning environment
faculty mentoring and peer learning.
Virtual labs should provide:
A workspace focused on projects, teams
Ways for teams to collaborate live
Coordination and project management

4. NEES: A national Tele-laboratory
NEES: The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation + PRoPs

5. Best practices: TVI & peer instruction
TVI (Tutored Video Instruction) and DTVI have shown the best outcomes for computer-supported learning.
Students view recorded lectures in small groups, and discuss among themselves. Peer discussion is critical.

6. Best practices: peer instruction
In peer instruction, the lecturer asks a question, students vote on the answer, then discuss, then vote again.
Measurable improvements in learning.
Very popular in Chem 1A

7. Livenotes: virtual small team learning in large classrooms
Borrows from TVI and peer instruction
Students work in small virtual groups (~ 4 students) to share notes. Uses wireless pen tablets (CSCL 02).

8. Using Livenotes remotely
Groups are split local/remote
Remote students have an in-class proxy
Remote learning is much more like local learning

9. Livenotes deployment Used in grad classes in Spring of 2000 and 2001.
Testing in undergrad class (User interfaces) this semester, 40 students each with a clio/wireless.
