Implications are drawn for the design and use of technology-based systems that provide students with coordinated, multiple representations and collaborative activities that afford the development of shared understanding in science.
The system facilitates the transition management of a user's collaborative activities to appropriate collaboration tools.
Studies that used multiple linkage strategies from the suite of "direct collaborative activities" plus "agreed guidelines" plus "communication systems" showed positive clinical (81%), service (78%) and economic (75%) outcomes.
The executive steering committee holds monthly virtual meetings to establish overall project objectives, coordinate curriculum development activities, facilitate collaborative activities (e.g., adoption of teaching modules across multiple institutions), and develop dissemination strategies.
Examples of collaborative activities included, but were not restricted to, formal funded research projects with multiple partners, sharing of expertise and resources between institutions, collaborative development of products, policy and new ways of working, co-supervision of research students and case studies.
"We engage in collaborative activities all day long, whether it's pushing carts or building skyscrapers".
Digital elements will range from games and mobile content through to collaborative activities designed for interactive whiteboards in classrooms.
Other collaborative activities such collaborative writing (answers to questions, short essays etc).
Digital games facilitate the implementation of collaborative activities with students.
Included are: physical modeling, numerical analysis, field studies, methods of analysis, and collaborative activities.
