DESCRIPTION:
In today's business world, the use of virtual meeting places, cross-organizational teams and location/time displaced collaboration is common. In too many classrooms, however, students still learn through individual projects and the passive receipt of information provided from the podium. Additionally, many students consider collaboration in the classroom to mean IMing a friend to see what they are doing after class.

The purpose of this session is to present and share ideas, techniques, and best practices to introduce collaboration as a way for students to: take an active role in their educational process; share ideas and thoughts among their peers, construct new knowledge and learning experiences through collaborative group projects; and align group project methodologies to those used throughout the business, scientific and other "real world" environment.
