Network-based projects require teachers to develop classroom organization patterns that allow students to collaborate with other students in their own classroom, in other schools, and in other communities of practice. Teachers need to be able to structure group memberships and roles to support productive collaboration, to monitor and provide feedback, and to assess the progress of students as individuals and as team members.
Predictor: Kozma, Robert
Prediction, in context:In 1995, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology commissioned a series of white papers on various issues related to networking technologies. The department convened the authors for a workshop in November 1995 to discuss the implications. The following statement is taken from one of the white papers, “Issues and Needs in Evaluating the Educational Impact of the National Information Infrastructure,” by Robert Kozma and Edys Quellmalz of the Center for Technology and Learning at SRI International. They write:”Network-based projects require teachers to develop classroom organization patterns that allow students to collaborate with other students in their own classroom, in other schools, and in other communities of practice. Teachers need to be able to structure group memberships and roles to support productive collaboration, to monitor and provide feedback, and to assess the progress of students as individuals and as team members.”
