17. 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!
