The learning activity that students are asked to do sometimes can be more effectively carried out in pairs and sometimes in groups.

Checklists and rubrics are great to manage pedagogical steps, resources and class tempi for best performances and outcomes. I have used similar rubrics and find they need to be flexible enough to be adapted to students' levels , team dynamics, and task characteristics. This rubric has the advantage of creating assessment criteria for teachers and students but needs extra indicators to overcome difficulties with adjustments and timely decisions

chiarastella_albanello — 2016-10-31 14:50:45 UTC

I think design in this way the work and ask yourself the level step by step is really a very good contribution. Thank you! I hope to explore this aspect.

During the collaborative activities undertaken in use class of evaluation rubrics that lists key indicators in the assessment of social skills. Interdependence, ability to share ideas, respect for others (in addition to the respect of delivery times). Usually use the Rubistar site to create my rubrics . Even students also fill in their assessment rubrick (or a checklist) so they self-evaluate their socilaattitude during the process.

gligomat448 — 2016-10-31 15:09:32 UTC

Create rubrics for assessment with students makes them consciouslyparticipate in training course that day by day living in the school pupilsare involved, it them self, I am able to co-assessed, they understand thepath to play, they are motivated and they face better the failuresbecause they set the parameters of evaluation (the size and scale) Withthe involvement and participation of pupils are witnessing theemergence of diversity and their exploitation : everyone becomes awareof its role and the role of others.

Massimo, Italy

massimo_pescato — 2016-10-31 15:17:54 UTC

I become a little bit skeptic when it comes to such structered rubrics. I think it could be useful as a point of reference and not as a tool to be used in a rigorous way

Manoilă Maria, Romania

marimanoila1 — 2016-10-31 15:24:20 UTC

In designing collaborative learning activity it has an important role .This assessment is done using assessment scales.

Valeria Manfreda, Italia

Using a Collaboration rubric, it's useful way to think about own task and they can proceed step by step in a meticulous way: the same as a flow chart in computer science. It's important to design my lesson.

Viviana, Italy

2016-10-31 15:38:20 UTC

A similar rubric can be very useful in order to design a collaborative learning activity. For example, it may help me to be less intransigent with pupils, especially when i realize that my learning activity is not coded at 5, because it depends on where the pupils are at and what is the learning outcome. The rubric could be useful in order to assess if pupils' work is interdipendent or not, dependind on the aims.

Tamar Chalakheshashvili Georgia

tamarigia — 2016-10-31 16:22:28 UTC

It is necessary to work out with the rubrics. The student knows what you are asking teachers to be evaluated at the end of what will know. This helps them to be full members of the School

Mafalda Lapa, Portugal

lapa_mafalda — 2016-10-31 16:37:32 UTC

I have never use it before but I think it can be very usefull because it structures my work and I can easily see if what I want from the students to achive is taking place.

Heidi Belgium

heidi_schrijvers — 2016-10-31 16:47:38 UTC

It is the first time I hear about those rubrics. But I think it can be usefull for designing lessons and think about evaluation. It is also very clear to students what you want from them. Especially with my special needs students that is a must!

Ann McHugh, Ireland

ann_mchugh — 2016-10-31 16:47:54 UTC

This rubric could be very useful to define collaborative tasks and to know where to move the learning if you wish to develop the skills of collaboration.

Jole, Sicily

jolecapo — 2016-10-31 16:57:42 UTC

I think the fundamental evaluation rubrics. What I find interesting in this regard, the following statement:
"The basic principle underlying the assessment
It recalls learning the value of metacognitive processes such as awareness tools and
control of their own learning; in this context the assessment becomes a formidable
opportunities to encourage and enhance the metacognitive activities, "learning to learn."
The way to express all this in the most suitable and appropriate way is to use "headings"
evaluation; a kind of grid which of precise dimensions in consideration taken developments
possible expertise and they become criteria of judgment. "

Roberta Scarselli

2016-10-31 17:09:41 UTC

Italy
I think that this rubric can be useful for teachers in order to observe the students while they work in couple or groups. In primary school I think it is necessary to specify grades of criteria in order to help students evaluate themselves and understand what it is expected from them. Depending on the class criteria could be different. For example in one of my classes I need to put the" I do not quarrel" evaluation criteria, or " I partecipate and allow other students to partecipate", because they are 10 year old and the biggest challenge is to help them work together in armony, sharing responsabilities and reaching a goal in a collaborative way.

Rosa/ italy

rosadilonardo — 2016-10-31 17:11:59 UTC

This rubric is very interesting; when you design with this rubric, it really challenges you because you are saying, ok, they are now interdependent on each other, it’s step by step by step… So that’s what helps, is having that structure to work within. Today’s workshop has been really useful; we used the rubric to look at some learning scenarios and ideas. And what I would suggest maybe to other teachers is to use the rubric before you are designing your lessons and designing your scenario, because it actually helps you to see what is collaboration and what will give you the deepest learning. And it means that when I am designing my lesson, I can build in the collaboration from the start, as opposed to looking at it afterwards and realising, well actually, there was not much collaboration there, and having to re-do it half way through my unit.

Galina, Bulgaria

galia_770505 — 2016-10-31 17:31:40 UTC

The rubric is very useful and easily applicable. I think I will have a use of it in my work at school.

Arnaud Perrier, France

arperrier — 2016-10-31 17:37:50 UTC

This rubric can be very useful to check if all conditions are required to present a good collaborative learning activity. However, I wonder if it is a one-way rubric. Meaning, do we have to respect the order ? And what if students have an interdependent work without sharing responsibilities ? Is it possible ?

Angela , Italy

a_sanpietro — 2016-10-31 17:44:17 UTC

The rubric is very interesting, of immediate use to design, monitor and guide the group work on different levels of requirements.
I've never used anything like that, but during the work of my students often ask myself such questions. It is not always easy, however, to have a definite answer until the verification.

Lorena Olaru, RO

leoatomix — 2016-10-31 17:48:51 UTC

I find very useful the rubric Professor Deirdre Butler explained. I have used this rubrics before to help me design collaborative learning activities. I have attended the “21st Century Learning Design” course on Microsoft Education platform. My bigger problems are the curriculum overload and time.

Gülhanım,Turkey

gul_ektem — 2016-10-31 18:13:06 UTC

This rubric is simple and useful. Thank you Professor Deirdre Butler

Cinzia,F, Italy

nicomd — 2016-10-31 18:19:59 UTC

Rubric are useful and I agree that you have to take them into consideration before designing a learning scenario. The problem is that it is quite a demanding work to do and it is not possible to use it in everyday work but certainly of great help in project based learning . As a teacher I have to say that we always have the big problem that our national exit tests from a secondary school are not designed on new teaching approaches and methodologies but they still test grammar, comprehension etc.

I think it is a very useful rubric to have in mind from designing a collaborative learning activity, to evaluating it and modifying it, if needed, for future implementation.

Clara Abegão, Portugal

acjesus — 2016-10-31 18:45:45 UTC

I never used a CLD rubric before. I found it a very interesting tool to use in the future. I´ve learned that the strongest learning activities are designed so that student work is interdependent, requiring all students to contribute in order for the team to succeed.

At higher levels of the rubric students have shared responsibility for their work, and the learning activity is designed in a way that requires students to make substantive decisions together. These features help students learn the important collaboration skills of negotiation, conflict resolution, agreement on what must be done, distribution of tasks, listening to the ideas of others, and integration of ideas into a coherent whole. And when students have shared responsibility is more than simply helping each other: students must collectively own the work and be mutually responsible for its outcome, make substantive decisions togetherwhen they must resolve important issues that will guide their work together. Substantive decisions are decisions that shape the content, process, or product of students’ work

I must be honest: I can´t see any disadvantages.

2016-10-31 21:09:18 UTC

This rubric is certainly an important tool for us as teachers , before starting a collaborative learning activity.It allows a deep phasical analysis of all implications in our learning design .I'll try it for my next experience.
👍

Angelo, Rivoli, Italy

Angelo — 2016-10-31 21:37:11 UTC

I believe that share a rubric is one of the most effective ways to start an effective collaboration between teachers. A rubric is a repository of values and educational principles declared not in a static manner, but dynamic setting, in order to indicate a developmental progression to the students. I use them regularly, even though I can not always complete all indicators. The downside is that I note that the students are too inclined to take too much of the final grade, and do not read carefully the analytical judgment expressed through the rubric.
I have tranformed (and translated in Italian) the 21CLD learning activity rubrics in one single sheet rubric.
Here you can find the pdf version.
Here you can find the excel version.
Here you can find a flow-chart like synthesis.

Mariangela Bielli, italy

mariangela_biel — 2016-10-31 22:19:37 UTC

The rubric suggested by Professor Deirdre Butler is very useful because it is very clear and easy to use both in planning and in assessing. I find it very practical and I will try it. I have never used rubrics at the planning stage. The main advantage of it seems to be that it is both a design and assessment tool and can help us improve our practice

Mirjana Jovanovic, Serbia

mirjana_jovanovic_ns — 2016-10-31 22:22:06 UTC

I usually make plans, not the rubrics, but I ask myself similar question: Where are the evidence for this and that. Rubrics enable collaborative learning being more clear, more effective, more precise.

Annibale Italy

annibalemorsillo_am — 2016-10-31 22:30:20 UTC

The rubric is most useful and it will help the quality in the creation of activities. I never used this rubric but I tried to answer to some af the questions included in the rubric. With this rubric it is easy to understand if you are making a collaborative activity

Francesca, Italy

francescagiala — 2016-11-01 00:10:46 UTC

I think it is a very useful rubric. I have used a similar rubric where learning outcomes are clearly set out and any form of assessment of teaching content matches such learning outcomes

Carla Nascimento-Portugal The caption Deirdre Butler is very interesting and helps to understand the type and quality of collaboration. I've never used this type items to help create collaborative learning activities but I think it has advantages. When students are responsible for their learning, they feel more engaged, more involved and can be created on student need, willingness to learn and take action, developing therefore study skills.

teacheralex_dua — 2016-11-01 00:53:14 UTC

I find rubrics really useful and great for sts, too. The one presented by Professor Butler is helpful in helping me understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities I design. Whenever I use rubrics, I have them ready before designing my lessons and activities and make sure sts have them too so that they know exactly what the criteria are with the description of the performance levels. Good rubrics are time consuming…that’s the biggest disadvantage of rubrics.

Giovanna Wiplinger Croce

giovywip — 2016-11-01 05:53:42 UTC

I found it great! The rubric is visual, immediate, clear and follow challenging steps until it gives a full picture of what a team should do in order to work together!

M.Laura, Italy

mammolimlaura — 2016-11-01 07:34:05 UTC

These rubrics are really useful , when we have to grade collaboration. I think they are more useful for designing an activity, becuse with these topics in mind you know what you are asking your students to do.
Sooner or later we will be asked to assess transversal skills and collaboration could an ideal scenario for examining those skills.
Actually, I have tried to assess group work, taking "inspiration" from the rubrics you can find on Internet, but they are generally very complex and not always suitable for the work you are assessing.
Posing 4 simple but relevant questions is a more linear preocess.

Ester Degennaro

esterdegennaro — 2016-11-01 08:29:12 UTC

Rubrics are essential to assess collaboration.

xanafig — 2016-11-01 09:37:42 UTC

I always try to use these rubrics when I work with my students ina CLB way, but my greatest difficulty is to get evidence that they actually make decisions together and that they work is interdependent.

Marcela, Italy

2016-11-01 09:48:28 UTC

Rubrics are very useful and give us a global vision on the assessment and on the knowledge of students. I use this one:

I have never used this rubric before but I always try to ask myself similar questions. I am looking forward to try this rubric

Carmela Cundari - Italy

melcunda — 2016-11-01 10:42:18 UTC

I've used Rubrics to assess my own works, I've never used them to assess students' work. I've used RUBISTAR to create rubrics for some projects. To be honest I've never thought about the fact that the rubric is very useful to design learning activities. Of course it's better to design and use them in advance so that you and your students know what you expect from the activity.

Serena Visai - Italy

serenavisai — 2016-11-01 10:54:03 UTC

I have never used this type of rubrics, but I think it can be of great help to reassess my previous activities and see if/where they need to be improved. Thanks to the many examples for each rubric, the type and quality of collaboration is clearer, even though it is not always easy to monitor the students work in the process as far as interdepence is concerned.

Emiliana Rufo, Italy

emiliana_rufo — 2016-11-01 10:54:14 UTC

I think Rubrics are important to assess collaborative activities. I actually use them for the assessment but I didn't use them at the beginning to create the activity. Now I know and I will use them from the start.

Asun Ara, Spain

2016-11-01 11:06:31 UTC

The rubric which Professor Deirdre Butler explained can be very useful and help teachers plan their activity and assess the process of teaching-learning. It is also quite important that students know this rubric from the beginning since they can be aware of their skills and the way the work in a collaborative way or not.

I usually use rubrics to assess the process of teaching-learning or to try to be objective when the evaluation instrument which I have used is a qualitative one, such as an essay or an oral production, but I have never used a rubric to design my lesson plans. I think it is a good idea to write down a few general questions which can summarise the main objectives of the activity in order to help me, as a teacher, and my students, as the learners, understand the whole process of teaching-learning.

Agata Kuźmiek - Poland

2016-11-01 11:48:24 UTC

I never did not use headings to make the assessment of Labour pupils and students. I tried this method and I created using an external application web boxes for some activities and projects. The items are very useful and helpful to the design of educational activities.

Ljiljana, Croatia

2016-11-01 12:32:26 UTC

I have used rubric for my work but I see that prof.Butler's rubric are useful and I'll use them from now on.

Carmen Carella, Marche, Italy

2016-11-01 12:51:28 UTC

I think Professor Butler’s flow-chart about collaborative work is a valid solution for designing activities because it directly drills into the students’ tasks. After this lesson, I am more aware of the questions I have to ask myself BEFORE implementing a learning unit - and breath a sigh of relief because apparently individual work is not forbidden. I have just to code it. Then, I can decide in planning what steps I have to take or don’t have to take, and structure a learning unit knowing what is a good-quality collaborative task, which is the goal of students’ learning.

Unfortunately, I haven’t implemented rubrics in my teaching till now, and even my most collaborative and cooperative projects have been assessed according to traditional standards, testing both in spoken and written skills. Not only that, but having taught English for about 20 years, I belong to a generation of teachers who thinks I know my students, from just little gestures and personality. Maybe there’s a bit of a prejudice there.Human nature.

Still I’m passionate about technology, which I introduced in my teaching let’s say 6 years ago. The EUN courses just gave me the boost.

Summing up, a careful planning of the activities is necessary, and a rubric helps for sure, I don’t think there are any drawbacks, we teachers have only to learn how to implement them and work together on them, with the approval and encouragement of the headteacher. We also should learn how to collaborate without conflicts, by reflecting on the fact that there aren’t any school-subjects that are more important than others, and that we are working towards a common goal.

Teresa Oliveira - Portugal

toliv2 — 2016-11-01 13:28:01 UTC

I have never used it, but I think it can be very useful to realize the level of collaboration in a very simple way.

Kristina Kaučić, Croatia

2016-11-01 13:59:43 UTC

I have not use it so far. After watching his video I am going to use it. It is very useful.

Anna La Montagna, Italy

2016-11-01 14:05:28 UTC

I think it is very useful an address book such as that proposed by the professor to evaluate the key competence: collaboration. In the next months I will try to create an eTwinning project on the eating habits at breakfast for students aged 15-16 and I am already in contact with a Spanish colleague. Students can work together face to face or by using technology to share ideas or resources. Students will need to arrange all the work, from the preparation of interviews and data collection, their analysis and communication of the results using all the multimedia tools even they know. I will try to use the directory for testing diving at which point they will stop students or what needs more implementation.

Carlos Matos, Portugal

2016-11-01 14:11:54 UTC

I find the flowchart very interesting. I didn’t understand what to do when I reach the codes. Should I ask another question to take another yes or no decision? Or should I change the group elements and start the process all over again? What if in the same activities for different groups reach different codes? It seems useful but leaves me a lot of questions about what to do with the codes.

Elvia/Italy

2016-11-01 14:35:14 UTC

I absolutely agree. I use rubric to assess group work. This rubric is very simple because I need that it is clear to my 3rd grade primary school pupils. What I noticed, since I use rubrics, is that my students are more focused on the goal and they are agree with the mark assessed.

Despoina Amarantidou, Greece

damarant — 2016-11-01 14:46:23 UTC

Rubrics are a form of assessment and I have used them during PBL projects. The particular flowchart is very clarifying and useful.

Iliyana, Bulgaria

2016-11-01 15:05:47 UTC

I haven’t used rubrics but I think they are very useful – they give students clear steps of the whole activity process to follow and pupils know from the very beginning what criteria for their group work’s assessment will be. This is a great advantage for them.

Donato Martano - Italy Most times I haven't used rubrics, but rather asked more or less the same questions during a circle time feedback on the activity. It can be useful to outline a defined path, but some students might perceive it a s a bit too formal.

donato_martano — 2016-11-01 15:18:06 UTC

Angelamaria Galderisi, Italy

soleemare_a — 2016-11-01 15:23:34 UTC

I think the rubric explained by Professor Butler is useful to design learning activities based on shared collaboration and responsibility among students. I have already studied rubrics as a means of assessment, to look for evidence that the learning objectives have really been attained. But if the learning objectives have not totally been attained, the rubric can become a means of designing and framing the next learning activity. This is the real advantage of rubrics.

Carla Diogo, Portugal

tgeiepbjcporto — 2016-11-01 15:26:05 UTC

I have already used rubrics and they are quite useful, maily for assessment. Students know what they are supposed to do and can assess their projects and the projects of other groups, but I still have to admit that I have problems on getting evidence for all the required items. I still have to concentrate and work more in this subject.

A. Leen

annetteleen — 2016-11-01 16:24:10 UTC

I have used rubrics with the students to guide them with success criteria help them assess their work. I haven't used one when designing my classes.

Vasso Lalakidou, Greece

2016-11-01 16:31:05 UTC

I am not sure that I like the idea of using this kind of programming in teaching with simple yes/no questions and that's why I am also skeptical for such a categorisation.

Heidi, Germany

2016-11-01 16:32:46 UTC

I never used rubrics in my teaching and I would like to know more about them. I don't yet know how to assess with a rubric, but I hopefully learn it in this MOOC? It is useful to plan a learning activity of collaborative lessons, I am sure.

Elisabete Cruz- Portugal

elisabete_cruz3 — 2016-11-01 16:36:23 UTC

For me it's new. I did not know these rubrics. I plan my lessons in a similar way. When the goal is clear everything is easier and the students' results are extraordinary. Today there are so many new tools to explore that days should have more than 24 hours. For this and other reasons the importance of continuing education. Who knows one day experiment ...

Margherita Balistreri-Italy

margheritabalistreri — 2016-11-01 16:41:16 UTC

I have used rubrics at the end of a project or of a group work using indicators concerning the students'levels assessing the team collaborative work.

Paulo Martins_Portugal

2016-11-01 16:49:01 UTC

I think it will be very useful for us to understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities we may design. I have used different rubrics to design collaborative learning activities but not with this codes esquematics. I think it only brings advantages to our work, because it is not only the fact that it can be used for designing learning activities, but also for assessment. Actually enables us to look for evidence that we attained in our learning objectives. And then, using that as a means of assessment. We then look at it, and frame our next learning activity, based again on the same rubric. So in essence, our rubric becomes: an object to think with; for learning design; and assessment.

Susana Varela, Portugal

7suslucas — 2016-11-01 16:49:02 UTC

The rubric displayed in the video is the ideal answer for us to verify the level of collaboration present in the activities we do.
In the classroom I never used any rubric that allowed me to create / evaluate collaborative learning activities.
From now I have the ideal rubric to do it!

Anna C. Italy

ciaramellaanna — 2016-11-01 17:06:53 UTC

I agree on the use the rubric to assess group work. I have'nt never used rubric. It will definitely be an advantage.

Catarina Rodrigues, Portugal

canrodrigues — 2016-11-01 18:03:23 UTC

I had never used rubrics. However I already new this one about collaboration. The funny thing is that I never though in use it to plan an activity. I was thinking in use it to assess students' work.

Rosella, Italy

rosella_manni — 2016-11-01 18:04:09 UTC

The rubric helps teachers guide students in being effective collaborators in a project, and it can be used to assess their performance.
It can be used to guide students and assess their work, or to inform your thinking as you create your own assessment tools.

Laura-Aurelia Serban, Romania

lauraaurelias — 2016-11-01 18:05:27 UTC

I never used these rubrics and I have just realized that learning activities with my pupils don't make 5. In my next activity I will use these tools to improve my lesson plan.

Maria Chiara, Ital

2016-11-01 18:07:15 UTC

I have generally used some sorts of rubric to observe the work of students in groups or at the end of the activity for assessment. I found the rubric proposed quite interesting but I 'd have liked a practical example on how to use it.

In the third and four level, i usually use these rubrics, a working group or in pairs work, sharing responsabilizeis, common decisions and interdependent work at the end of activity

Els Teerlinck, Belgium

els_teerlinck — 2016-11-01 18:25:08 UTC

This Rubric is very interesting. I still don't see how my activities have to be to have prove of those rubrics. I hope to find out soon...

Jasna Šojer/Croatia

jasna_sojer — 2016-11-01 18:29:58 UTC

The rubrics are very useful specially the coding of activites as good way of being able to classify the type of learning activities.

teresarughi — 2016-11-01 18:38:22 UTC

I went through this rubric in the course titled Future Classroom Scenario in 2014. I hve found it really useful. The interesting point here is that it can use the rubric before you design your lesson and your scenario, but it can also be used as a feedback, in the sense that you may ask yourself where’s the evidence to demonstrate each of the 4 points. It’s a cycle to frame your next Learning Activity

Isabel Graça, Portugal

2016-11-01 18:44:42 UTC

I first knew 21st Century Learning Design in a previous MOOC. I think it’s a powerful tool for teachers and students that allow focusing on what matters in particular tasks.

Hülya,TURKEY

hulyaos31 — 2016-11-01 19:54:55 UTC

I think these 4 questions are very important and helpful to design a collaborative learning activity.They have to mutually responsible of the outcomes and share the responsibility: this is the team work. They have to make substantive decisions to solve important problems in their work bu using their own knowledge. They can make a decision about the process , may be they can build their own method to solve the problem.

Ho usato qualche volta the rubric Professor Deirdre Butler ma è molto utile perchè la rubrica è utile per la progettazione. Con la rubrica l'attività si esplica passo dopo passo. In questo modo è facile controllare e se necessario apportare correzioni al percorso.

I found this rubric really interesting. In my case, I've never used rubrics in my class but I've found them really really interesting. I find it great for the teacher to use, but I'm not sure about how students can use it...

Sarah Mallia, Malta

sarahborg85 — 2016-11-01 22:10:07 UTC

I make sure of a lot of rubrics to be given to my students to guide them in their task and at the same time they can use it as a checklist however I never used a similar one to this. I agree with the teacher in the video who said that it makes sense to use the rubric whilst planning the task and not after so you can always keep in mind to build collaborative learning activities.

Ana Franco, Barcelos, Portugal

ana_lufranco — 2016-11-01 22:13:50 UTC

This scheme seems to me an excellent tool for organizing the work that I want with my students. It helps clarify the goals and what is effectively collaborative work.

Mina/Italy

ponzianomina — 2016-11-01 22:15:35 UTC

Professor Deirdre Butler's rubric could be very useful in helping to understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities but I've never used it so I can't tell about the advantages or disadvantages of it. I'll try it as soon as possible

Teresa Pombo, Port

teresapombo — 2016-11-01 22:31:58 UTC

A simple yet very powerful rubric. I'll try it soon!

Maria Tiago, Portugal

mariatiago — 2016-11-01 23:06:10 UTC

I think it will be a great and useful tool to help me design collaborative learning activities and keep me focus on the outcomes.
I will definitely use it.

Ana Rochinha, Portugal

ana_rochinha — 2016-11-01 23:56:37 UTC

code 1 - work on your own

code 2 - work in pairs or groups / they have shared responsibility

code 3 - they have shared responsibility

code 4 - are they making substantive decisions

code 5 - their work is interdependent

Good ideas ; difficult to put into practice!

Sheds light on what nicknaming true collaborative work.

I have a long way to go ...

Ariana, Romania

ariana_vacaretu — 2016-11-02 06:49:40 UTC

The collaboration rubric (code 1 - students work on their own, code 2 - students work in pairs or groups but they don't have shared responsibility; code 3 - students work in pairs or groups, they have shared responsibility but they don't make substantive decisions; code 4 - students work in pairs or groups, they have shared responsibility, they make substantive decisions but their work is not interdependent; code 5 - students work in pairs or groups, they have shared responsibility, they make substantive decisions and their work is interdependent) and the codes allow us to figure out which subskills of the collaborative skills are developed during the collaborative learning activity we designed. I have used a sort of rubrics for assessing collaborative learning activities (see page 46 in http://matlanproject.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/9/1/42916225/evaluarea_competentelor_en-final1.pdf) - they were also useful for designing collaborative learning activities. As Professor Deirdre Butler explained, rubrics can "be used to design learning activities, but then it also can be used as a means of assessment".

Evelyne FRANCE

litenglish222 — 2016-11-02 06:51:38 UTC

Yes I think this tool helps clarify what collaborative work is all about . The aspect I am most concerned about the interdependence of students as I think it is not always easy to design activities in which students are encouraged to have different roles within a group.

Alessandro Ruffino / Italy

2016-11-02 06:59:58 UTC

I think it is very useful, because it gives you elements to evaluate the learning collaborative activity. When I designed an activity for team work I didn't use a rubric to specify the grade of collaboration or its quality, I saw the results if my students reached the goals working together I thought that's ok! But, it is a good idea to use a rubric as the Prof. Dreide suggest. I will try it!!!

Hülya,TURKEY

hulyaos31 — 2016-11-02 07:17:58 UTC

I am using rubrics. These rubrics are assisting me to design my learning activities. Also it is helping me to asses the activity. We can realise the missing information or unnecessary, confusing informations. In this way we can improve our activity.

Helena Paixão, Portugal

helenagpaixao — 2016-11-02 08:06:51 UTC

This rubric is very helpfull to design lesson plans, because it helps in understanding what is collaboration. We have to decid what type of collaboration we want for the students, and then decide what activities to use.

teacherEB — 2016-11-02 09:29:58 UTC

I've used rubrics simply as an assessment tool so far, but now I'm aware of the importance of using them also as a designing tool. Another important point is to inform the students about them in order to get them more involved in the learning process.

Eduardo, Israel

eduardolina1 — 2016-11-02 12:08:17 UTC

It's a very interesting rubric. I have used rubrics in the past, yet the fact that one rubric can be useful for different moments on a collaborative project is good. I will give it a try.

Sander, BE

Nice theory and it all makes sense (off course it does!) But putting this into practise will be something harder. Gonna try it :)

francesca_lombardi1973 — 2016-11-02 13:16:00 UTC

I believe rubrics really help teachers to focus their own attention to the key concepts and standards that the students must obtain. Probably the most disadvantage of this tool is the time intensive that the teacher needs to prepare it accurately.

Rossana De Martino , Italy

rossana_demartino — 2016-11-02 13:55:23 UTC

This rubric can be very important in a collaborative learning , in which we have to define the objectives and the final product. I think if we have a useful tool to define well the points , step by step, to let students understand how they have to work in group and to change something in every moment of the team work.

Elena FP, Italy

2016-11-02 15:04:39 UTC

This is an effective and user-friendly tool giving the answer to one of my main questions/concerns regarding collaborative learning, ie how to assess it! It really makes me think over the importance of evaluating not just the product of these activities, but the 'production process' too!

Elisabete Carvalho, Maria Araújo, Olga Seabra, Paula Cavadas, Paula Usha_Portugal

olga_seabra — 2016-11-02 15:40:07 UTC

With this format, it is the first time we viewed a rubric collaboration, however, when we plan lessons that collaborative work is the methodology used for the preparation of planning, these aspects were designed but not coded in order to show whether there was collaborative work. This system can validate the existence of this type of work in the classroom (e.g. enhances the evidence to assess shared responsibility). Therefore, we consider it a valuable resource that will be used when planning our class.

arlindopereira3 — 2016-11-02 15:42:59 UTC

I think this rubric very important because it makes possible that teachers guide their students in being effective collaboration in one project. Makes also possible to assess their performance and the team work. I never used this tool before to help design collaborative learning activities but I do some of these questions mentally, without connection between them. Absolutelly, the advantages are more that the possible disadvantages.

Costas Moschonas

2016-11-02 16:05:19 UTC

I have never used such a rubric and I found it very useful for the development of learning activities in the future. The rubric shows clearly if a learning activity produce collaboration and in which level.

Sofia Bailó, Portugal

sofia_bailo — 2016-11-02 16:12:18 UTC

I find it extremely useful. This is a great way to understand if the stds are really working in groups and interdependently. This rubric will certainly help my studs to better understand their level of collaboration and commitment.
I'm going to use it right away in my Project Work.

Antónia Brandão; José Ruão - PT

dolores_brandao — 2016-11-02 16:29:02 UTC

Traditional school does not prepare students to workteam. Students, as well their teachers are used to individual work and individual assessment but school nowadays must develop team skills as we already had seen. The rubric Professor Deirdre Butler explained can be most useful in helping us to understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities we design. We can understand if students are only working together or if they are collaborating. Reading further information that is present on resource section has been also very useful

Example of a substantive decision

Students in teams are preparing for a debate and must decide what side of the issue they will argue for. This is a content decision that will shape their work together, and students must negotiate their ideas

Example of a non substantive decision

Student teams assign roles to team members based on the list of roles the educator has defined. The educator has planned the process of their work, not the students.

mbacita — 2016-11-02 16:45:07 UTC

I think it's really useful and it can be used by teachers and by students as well in order to switch from working in groups to collaborative learning. I believe it's also the core of an assessment scheme.

Chiara Sabatini/Italy

chisab72 — 2016-11-02 16:58:57 UTC

The idea of using the same rubric both for learning design and assessment is really very useful and meaningful. I also think a rubric can be useful for peer and self assessment as well.

I find the rubric explained by prof. Butler very interestig and useful not only to design learning activities, but also to asses collaborative activities. This rubric, with five code, allows to be more conscious about the work that students are making. In this way the steps are very clear

profarmindoserra — 2016-11-02 17:21:21 UTC

We find it very useful the application of rubrics that Deirdre Butler teacher explained, because they help us to design our learning activity and allowing the teacher to have an overview about all the skills students must develop (Collaboration, knowledge construction self-regulation, real-world problem-solving and innovation, the use of ICT for learning).

Secondly, the assessment of learning activity becomes easier.

The type of collaboration will define the kind of interaction that it is expected to outcome in the group work and the quality will define the learnings achieved not only about the contents but also about the relations inside the group and the processes needed to get the product at the end.

Anabela Gonçalves, José Rui Ferreira and Teresa Fonseca, Portugal

2016-11-02 17:31:16 UTC

The CLD Collaborative Rubric seems a simple and quite objective tool to work with. It’s an easy way of creating a structured thinking about collaborative practices in the classroom and once the teacher embeds it in the whole process, designing activities, thinking about and assessing them will become easier. Professor Deirdre also added that not all learning activities need to be coded at a 5, which we consider a quite relevant piece of information. We have never used any system similar to this one.

Isabella Santoro, Italy

issabella1 — 2016-11-02 17:53:37 UTC

The rubric with 5 steps is real guide for Teachers, when they design or assess a collaborative project, and for student, when they make a collaborative work.

I've used rubric in team projects to assess cross learning unit and I've found them really useful.
The rubric, once it is made and it takes some time to be done, is very clear and useful to check how the collaborative work is going on. It is important also students can check the rubric too in order to be aware of what are the criteria we have set for the assessment.

Rosaria Marino

marinorosaria60 — 2016-11-02 19:19:28 UTC

It works individually Code 1
It works in Code Code group 2
Shared responsibility? Code 3

The work is interdependent? code 5

This simple address book in its sequence is facilmene applicable, I find it very interesting because it helps formalizzzare the activity design. I will use it in the future in my classes.

Enrica Maragliano - Italy

EMGe — 2016-11-02 19:33:12 UTC

Using rubrics to assess is very useful, even if I must say that I have been using them since a little time (one year more or less). I don't feel comfortable with the one proposed by Prof. Butler as it has not a matrix shape and I would prefer to use a process rubric as the one proposed by the Prof. Zecchi during an eTwinning seminar in my town two weeks ago. It is in Italian and it is a screen shot from the presentation he sent us, so the quality is quite low, but I think it can be useful for someone. In this way, we can assess many aspects, usually not strictly related.
Instead,in my opinion, the rubric proposed by Prof. Butler can be useful mainly to observe the process, as I see it as a dynamic tool and it can allow you to have a quick response during the classwork job.

Petra, USA

drpe — 2016-11-02 19:59:34 UTC

Advantages: I find the rubric helpful. It is a good reminder of the questions I need to ask to design collaborative learning activities. It is also interesting as an assessment tool.

Disadvantages: I have not used rubrics before. I generally find them too restricting and not complex enough to capture the actual learner’s learning. Also, if learners know the rubric before the activity, they might aim to produce according to the rubric, not according to where their imagination may take them.

I think that this rubric will be extremely helpful in the design of activities. Having not used a rubric before it will make planning the activities a lot easier ensuring that the collaboration is going to occur. I would like if the rubric would give examples of how to integrate each step into an activity if you choose no while going through the code.

DEBORA

debora_defina — 2016-11-02 21:41:13 UTC

Collaboration is fundamental for a good work. Students collaborate and share responsability and make decisions together step by step. All teachers would have to adopt this method in all schools.

Maria Stalia

mastalia — 2016-11-02 22:27:51 UTC

The CLD rubric seems to be quite helpful to use both while designing our learning activities and after doing them as an assessment tool, since it clearly puts every step of the design procedure into perspective and guides us teachers all through the delivery of the collaborative learning activities. I have never usedit in any way but I sure intend to. The advantages are obvious while the main disadvantage seems to be the extra time and effort needed on the part of the teacher which of course is worth spending it.

Ana Fernandes, Portugal

apmfm — 2016-11-02 22:28:30 UTC

I've found the CLD Rubric an excelent help either to design learning activities or to assess if an activity allows me to reach the goals. It will enable me to effectively assess the type and quality of the activities developed in the classroom.

It´s a useful way of understand the type and the quality of collaboration we have in our learning activities. Usually I have some rubrics in my mind, but I never used this kind of codes to find the level of collaboration taking place within a learning activity. There are a lot of advantages using it because we can easily check the activity, before start, and if necessary make some adjustments.

Ana Pinheiro, Portugal

air_pinheiro — 2016-11-02 23:06:56 UTC

It is important that the teacher set questions / steps that students must meet in order to be able to encode / quantify the level of collaboration that take place within a learning activity.The type of questions presented to facilitate evaluation of the whole process - collaborative learning activity.

Arminda Pereira, Portugal

armindapereira1 — 2016-11-02 23:10:54 UTC

Professor Deirdre Butler talks teachers through the various decision steps they must take in order to be able to code the level of collaboration taking place within a learning activity (The 21 CLD Collaboration Rubric).

Are students required to work in pairs or groups?

Code 1
·Students are NOT required to work together in pairs or groups.

Do they have shared responsibility?

Code 2
·Students DO work together

·BUT they DO NOT have shared responsibility.

Are they making substantive decisions?

Code 3
·Students DO have shared responsibility

·BUT they ARE NOT required to make substantive decisions together.

Is their work interdependent?

Code 4
·Students DO have shared responsibility

·AND they DO make substantive decisions together about the content, process, or product of their work

·BUT their work is not interdependent.

Code 5
·Students DO have shared responsibility

·AND they DO make substantive decisions together about the content, process, or product of their work

·AND their work is interdependent.

The rubric that Professor Deirdre Butler explained it is very useful in helping teachers understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities we design. I have already used similar rubrics before to help me in design collaborative learning activities.

Why use rubrics?

Rubrics help instructors:

Assess assignments consistently from student-to-student.
Save time in grading, both short-term and long-term.
Give timely, effective feedback and promote student learning in a sustainable way.
Clarify expectations and components of an assignment for both students and course.
Refine teaching skills by evaluating rubric results.

Rubrics help students:

Understand expectations and components of an assignment.
Become more aware of their learning process and progress.
Improve work through timely and detailed feedback.

Challenges of using rubrics include:

Developing a tool can be time intensive
Need to prepare rubric well ahead of time so students are aware of the expectations
Need to ensure intra-rater and inter-rater reliability
Need to plan into learning experience an opportunity to demonstrate learning
Less flexible – harder to change mid-data collection, but can change from project to project as rubric tool is refined

Cinzia Billa, Italy

cinzia_billa2 — 2016-11-03 06:46:09 UTC

I think it is useful to ask ourselves - sometimes - what do we mean with the word 'responsibility' and towards whom has it to be exerced. The rubric - whatever may it be - should be always evaluated and rebuilt. It could be the result of an initial brainstorming with students

Olgica, Serbia

olgicaspasojevic — 2016-11-03 08:00:31 UTC

É muito útil. Leva-nos a refletir acerca dos nossos procedimentos e da importancia da análise das várias etapas. Simultaneamente, ajuda-nos na tomada de consciencia em relação aos benefícios deste tipo de trabalho.

A única desvantagem que verifico no trabalho colaborativo com os alunos é a incapacidade de um só docente acompanhar todos os trabalhos em simultaneo. Isso pode originar conflitos de ideias, comportamentos.

As vantagens do trabalho colaborativo, assim como da sua estruturação prévia cuidada são enormes. Os alunos percebem o seu papel, saberão como intervir, o professor facilmente poderá avaliar cada etapa e a atitude individual.

Cristiana, Portugal

cristianafreire — 2016-11-03 14:12:02 UTC

I think that the rubric explained may become very useful in helping me understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities I design. I had never applied something alike although always felt like something were missing…

Till now, I tried to verify some of the 4 items only in the evaluation of the final product.

Astrid Hulsebosch / Italy

AstridVE — 2016-11-03 15:03:29 UTC

To me the collaboration rubric seems very useful, I didn't used before, but I knew itbefore in some other course. Mentally I try to apply it. It was important to know Dreide Butler's underling that not all Learning Activities requires a code five and that it could e very usefull to use the rubric while you are designing a lesson.

Paula Gomes, Portugal

paliotes_cristina — 2016-11-03 15:06:33 UTC

Kimberley Edwards, Ireland

2016-11-03 15:27:16 UTC

The rubric sounds very useful as it presents the success criteria for students to peer assess or teacher can assess. I have not used a rubric like this before but I will as it seems very beneficial. The advantages is that it can promote student assessment however it can be time-consuming.

Ilaria, Italy

2016-11-03 15:40:26 UTC

I think a rubric is important for learning design and for assessment but for the second purpose it should be different and perhaps it would be better if it could be a fruit of a collaborative creation and used for a collaborative assessment or peer feedback

Helen, Belgium

2016-11-03 15:51:34 UTC

I like the idea of using the rubric as you are planning to ensure that the activity you thought of doing is truly collaborative. It would be good to use this rubric to build a more detailed rubric (ideally with student input) to assess group work, one that defines levels of collaborations and that could be used by the students to self-assess.

In education every method that enhances teachers' and students' awareness in what they are doing is good. In my opinion this rubric is very easy to use, because it is simple and clear and it could be a means by which students can easily understand if they are working in a collaborative way or not.

Another aspect I find it interesting is the fact that this rubric is quite flexible: Professor Butler explained that is not necessary that every activity is coded at a 5. It depends on what you want your students to do or what the goal is. So an advantage of this rubric is that it could be used in many different activities, sometimes more sometimes less collaborative. This way either the teacher and the students will become familiar with it and the metacognitive process will be easier and quicker than using many different rubrics for activities that require different levels of collaboration.

On the other hand, a disadvantage of this rubric is that it should be declined better and other more specific criteria should be defined. For example: what does it mean "are the students working together"? Are the students working on the task together or do they divide the task in different activities that each one realizes on his own? Are they working together giving each other feedback or not? What kind of feedback are they giving each other? Are they sharing their idea taking into account others' suggestion or not? Another risk in using rubric is that during the learning activity the teacher hasn't enough time to observe how every single team works. This is why it is useful enhancing self and peer-assessment in the class.

I love the idea os using a rubric.I will build a rubric with many details,to assess group work and it will help the students to self assess.

Marta Tarantino

maria_marzo1962 — 2016-11-03 16:35:23 UTC

I think, one of the interesting and effective aspects has to do with the rubric being both an instrument to design and a means to assess: this idea of a cycle is really reassuring...I mean, well, it's not like taking a leap in the dark...

Gisella de Liddo, Italy

2016-11-03 16:47:27 UTC

I must say I did not completely understand professor Butler's rubric. I completely agree that it would be very useful to create your own rubric before designing your learning activity, but I have never done so.

I think the rubric explained by Deirdre Butler teacher is very useful and helps us to understand the type and quality of the collaboration of students in learning activities projected.
I never used this kind of items when promote collaborative learning activities. However, I think it is a good way to monitor and evaluate if the work is effective. These are questions which I shall take into account when plan activities of this kind.

atbilic — 2016-11-03 18:36:44 UTC

It is a great way to see students improvement while working in groups. Like Professor Deirdre Butler pinted out in her videos, there is a fine line between working together and collaborative learning. This is an excelent way to watch how pupils are working and cooperating with each other. This video has given me a new insight of collaborative learning which I can implement in learning process with my student.

Grazyna, Poland

sp171wesola — 2016-11-03 20:02:23 UTC

The rubric is very useful. I always take it into consideration when I design activities or projects. The most difficult part for me is to let the students take substantial decisions, but it is because the language part is the most important for me. However, I let my students take decisions from time to time. I understand that there is a danger to always want to have level 5, but I understand prof. Butler. It is not the level of pefrection just a tool to inform about the type of collaboration you aim at. A part of it is very similar to the ladder of participation though, which I use working with our students council.

Angeliki Kougiourouki, Greece

akougiou — 2016-11-03 20:13:15 UTC

The rubric mentioned by Dr. Butler is very useful because it helps us evaluate the collaborative activity in which our pupils work on. To tell the truth I haven’t used such a rubric before although I prepared one during a MOOC I attended. When I design a collaborative activity I usually observe my students how do they carry out it and see also the results.

Eros Grossi, Italy

eros_grossi — 2016-11-03 20:18:21 UTC

I use rubrics every time I plan a PBL activity. Thanks to edutopia.org, some years ago I found out http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php, a very useful tool to design rubrics. Just the other day, I created a rubric for my history course (it's in Italian, unfortunately). As you can see, there's no references to the quality of collaboration; and this is a lack that I can't get over. Maybe because I usually cover this aspect with a group diary that I ask them to give me at the end of each activity

Despina Riniou, Greece

driniou — 2016-11-03 20:26:47 UTC

ivelonak — 2016-11-03 23:22:15 UTC

The rubric looks a quite simple and useful tool for designing real collaborative activities. As far as the assessement is concerned, they may be also useful but in my opinion the teacher should considerate more other things for giving a grade for an activity. I have tested google rubrics but I have never used them for grading my students or designing real learning activities.

Šárka, CR,

sarka_opatova — 2016-11-04 00:25:51 UTC

I did not use a rubric to design collaborative activities in the past. The points from the rubric you have on your mind, some points are just logical. But the rubric is a help for the teacher, it is structured and can lead the teacher to design code 5 activity and let students really be the central actors in the lesson, thus making the learning effective.
advantage: it's simply logical
disadvantage: ???

Isabel Nunes, Portugal

2016-11-04 00:33:45 UTC

From my perspective and according to the video sections are excellent tools for the review process, as well as for the product. However, to use them we must always have in mind the meaning of evaluation that we wish.

In my opinion, the headings need to be quite clear, to allow it to perform and adapt the goals you want to achieve.

Like any tool, it has advantages and disadvantages in your application.

Advantage:

Make the evaluation process more efficient and more precisely;

Allow to evaluate the process and the final result;

Allow evaluating improve performance, since it tells us where we should focus our efforts.

Disadvantage:

Complexity of their development for a heading that is able to portray what you wish;

The language to be used so that it is clear to all;

The difficulty of establishing criteria that define performance and constant need of revisions.

Giovanna, Italy

giovanna_biceg1 — 2016-11-04 08:03:22 UTC

Rubrics can be very useful to review and evaluate the collaborative work, but then the teacher has to transform it in a mark as it is requested by our system of assessment

Vitalija, Lithuania

2016-11-04 11:02:10 UTC

I have never called it as rubrics, but some elements of it I use.After watching this video I see that it is a great way to see the pupils' improvement while doing collaborative activities. There is a clear difference between working together and collaborative activities. It helps the teacher and the pupils understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in learning activities. I don't see many disadvantages of it. Perhaps, it requires a lot of time and effort designing every lesson.
Advantages: using this rubric is useful, practical, pupils become more aware of their learning process and progress.

Piia, Estonia

2016-11-04 11:51:10 UTC

2016-11-04 13:22:02 UTC

The rubric is very useful.I wiil think my future learning scenarios having in mind this structure.I agree that step by step and the necessity of re-doing it is very important. I´m please to read that not all learning activities need to be coded at 5.It depends on priorities.
I´ve never used this type of codes but I will do it.
Advantages:
more efficient to evaluate
Disadvantages:
classes with 28 students,

Francisco Pinto, PT

franciscopinto — 2016-11-04 13:43:17 UTC

Very useful rubric to construct learning scenarios and with a great advantage to do the assessment.
The big disadvantage is the number of students/groups per class (30 students means a lot of groups).

alas, never used a rubric before...sure the tools seems interesting...it's going to be, if it happens, a copernican revolution for me...it's scary!
i think it may be time consuming at least at the beginning and difficult to use with large classes and several groups. As it is with any new tool, practice makes perfect!

I believe that this rubric and rubrics in general are very helpful in the lesson plan and the students evaluation. I've only used rubrics in open courses, like web quest and another one (I don't remember the name), but I haven't used them till now because they aren't in my mother tongue, in which I teach. Advantage: well organized lesson plans Disadvantage: requires lot of time.

Ana Schade, Portugal

ana_vaz — 2016-11-04 17:15:24 UTC

This rubric examines whether students are working with others on the learning activity, and the quality of that collaboration. It is difficult to apply in larger groups.

António Gonçalves, PT

2016-11-04 17:22:06 UTC

Assess the level of collaboration is one of the most difficult tasks in a collaborative learning environment.
It is important to balance presented because it will allow to assess the level of quality and participation of different students.

Difficult to apply in larger groups and younger students

FILIPE MIRA, Portugal

filipe_mira — 2016-11-04 22:31:11 UTC

This item is a useful way to understand the type and quality of collaborative activity. To projecting our activities should take into account the item. I've never used items but the future will take into account this aspect when planning collaborative learning activities. The great advantage of lines is that before carrying out the activity can make some adjustments. I think the big disadvantage is, adaptation to classes with lower age phase (1 cycle), the teacher should have difficulty applying the rubric because students are very dependent on the teacher.

Susana Neves

shesuhed — 2016-11-05 01:23:11 UTC

The rubric teacher Deirdre Butler explained is very simple, clear and effective and therefore can easily be taken into account in the evaluation of collaborative learning activities. The rubric can help us to understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities we design. I really appreciated the very practical nature of the item and its applicability and usefulness.
For now, I can not see any disadvantages of it. It is extremely easy to use.

Amélie Silvert

silverteacher — 2016-11-05 07:14:25 UTC

Mapping the students' work is always useful whether before or after the lessons. It gives the teacher a sense of what is essential and what should be revised. It brings a critical eye on the pupils' learning activities and by being a part of a process leaves some space for questions or modifications. More freedom really. Planning is part of the lesson designing and requires more time than traditional lessons.

David Doherty Co Donegal Ireland Module 2

daviddoherty — 2016-11-05 13:01:21 UTC

The simple Rubric described is wonderful and I will definitely apply it. Not sure it needs to be written...reckon its possible to hold it in my head and apply it as I facilitate a lesson.

The idea of using rubrics is wonderful. The practicality is something else.
I discussed this with a teaching colleague and we have decided that we shall produce a collaborative rubric for when students engage in common cross curricular tasks like making presentations.
This will allow us to assess the quality of the work in a common manner.

Rossella, Italy

2016-11-05 14:05:24 UTC

the idea of introducing an address book in the classroom to better follow the work of the students i think is excellent. It allows the teacher to understand concretely what was useful and what needs to be reviewed of the proposed activity. Definitely requires more effort from the teacher, but it guarantees a better success activity and therefore I believe that I will introduce in my teaching routines whenever possible.

Ivana, Slovakia

luptacikova_ivana — 2016-11-05 14:13:27 UTC

Rubrics are very useful for me because there is written clearly what means working together, shared resposibility, making substantive decision, working interdependent. It gives me a very good key to decide how I should design my learning activity focus on collaboration.

Cristina

voicuelena18 — 2016-11-05 16:42:04 UTC

Maybe these questions were already applied but not in a structured way.

Antonia, Netherlands

chanja — 2016-11-05 19:54:56 UTC

Asking the four questions while designing an assignment will force you to include tools in the design that will prove the collaboration process. Including these assessment tools is usually a more difficult part of the designing process.
I will certainly use the rubric in my next designing attempt.

Evi Karella-Greece

spevispevi — 2016-11-05 20:04:24 UTC

Alena, Czech Republic

2016-11-05 20:13:55 UTC

Zoi Kolipetri, Greece

zetakoli — 2016-11-05 21:27:01 UTC

I have implement some rubrics for my research in my Ph.D. This rubric seems to be an excellent tool for designing the collaborative activities. For assessing them I believe that some more informations are necessary, for e.g. what about the roles of the children in the group ? Ιs there a coordinator among them? What is the teacher doing while the groups are working? He/she mediates in their collaborative efforts and supports the childrens' collaborative activity? In what way? The quality of the collaboration depends, also, on the quality of the language the children use. Also, the group's evaluation by its members is a crucial criterion for the quality of the collaborative activity they develop. For a first level rubric is an easy one and the educators could assess their collaborative activities.

Sabrina Petrillo, ITALY

spwillothewisp9 — 2016-11-05 22:13:08 UTC

The 21 CLD Collaboration Rubric describes the amount of collaboration that a learning activity requires but above all it helps teachers wonder if the latter lends itself to collaboration. Moreover, its aim is to show the type and quality of collaboration there might or might not be when designing group projects. As for its advantages I think that it provides teachers with a useful grid related to curriculum development.

Cátia Santos

PORTUGAL
the rubric Professor Butler is very important and useful to understand the different levels of collaborative learning and what is really collaborative learning. I never thought there could be different levels, before the workshops to me all that involved two students was collaborative learning, contrary to what I think today. In this sense, I believe this rubric will help me develop collaborative learning and for me have the advantage in even during the activity can verify develops a litlle a collaborative learning and be able to change it in time.

Melisa A., Italy

ambrosini_melisa — 2016-11-05 22:55:16 UTC

Conceição Aleixo, Portugal

caleixonline — 2016-11-05 23:13:23 UTC

Deirdre Butler explained the rubric in a very clear way. I think it’s very consistent having a conceptual tool that we can use when we plan and also when we evaluate. It means that, in the end, we are going to look for something we decided to look for in advance.

21 CLD Collaboration Rubric

Tool did not know, I found it very interesting and ... of course I will use.

Professor Butler explained the use and benefit of rubrics in a convincing manner and splitting the rubric up into these different steps of reflecting what to do and how this contributes to colab learning, provides clear guidlines to do it oneself. I cnnot see any disadvantage doing this but only advantages such as clarifying where I am heading and then being able to communicate this to my students; thinking that I would have to do this for every activity in my life as an EFL teacher would,however, mean a lot of work, but probably this then becomes a habit and in the later stages does not need to be outlined explicitely anymore as it has become enacted understanding on my part as a teacher.

radagast1974 — 2016-11-06 10:00:58 UTC

I like the idea of having a repertoire of different levels and being able to pick up for each stage of the lesson the "mode" that better suits my students and the learning objectives of the lesson. I have used similar tools in the past and I have found them very useful for a focused reflection on individual lessons. However, it is not easy to use them for every lesson in our day to day practice. The goal may be that they become a thinking habit that you take into consideration even if you are not "ticking the boxes" every time.

Teresa Rowett - Portugal

teresarowett — 2016-11-06 10:44:16 UTC

This rubric was described quite clearly and it was easy to understand. I have never used this tool and actually I had never seen it before. Asking the four questions when designing a class will indeed force you to find tolls to assess the students’ work. It can be rather difficult to find evidence of the students’ collaboration when implementing collaborative tasks.

Ionela Lazea, Romania

kameeliah16bis — 2016-11-06 11:23:11 UTC

It's a clear and easy tool to work with. I think it could also be used as a self-assessment tool in group works, for more mature students. Knowing that this rubric would be an evaluation guide to their work, process-wise, it could allow them to understand the need to make clearer the evidences of their collaboration (shared responsabilities, substantive decisions as a group and the interdependency of their own work).

Camelia Vesa, RO

cameliarusiusan — 2016-11-06 14:04:40 UTC

The rubric is simple and extremely useful, both in designing and assessing learning activities that requires collaborative work from students.

shared responsibility/substantive decisions/interdependence.These clear guidlines provide the teacher with a grid, once automated helping for enacted understanding of task types.

Anna Rosa, Italy

ar_b — 2016-11-06 16:02:09 UTC

The rubric explained by Professor Deirdre Butler is very useful for me. I never used a rubric like this in the past and I think it is very important for both design and evaluation.

As a vantage, I think it's simple and easy to share among colleagues.

As disadvantage, I fear that it may be used by some teachers without giving effect to support for the students' growth process: without thinking that teachers should remove obstacles.

Tina M_Macedonia Greece

tinamellos — 2016-11-06 16:47:45 UTC

The above mentioned rubric is very innovative: you can use a single pattern for designing and, at the same time, assessing the learning activity. You can easilly monitor the different stages of the learning activity and share it with colleagues. Thank you for the bits and pieces of advice handed.

Nikos, Greece

nikosmouratog — 2016-11-06 17:43:39 UTC

Until now, i did not know any process of defining the quality and the type of collaboration, so i think that it's a really good way of assessing collaborative projects. From my point of view, the most important thing is that this "hierarchical" order can help not only the teacher, but also the learner to trace the level in which collaboration occurs and to what extent.

Isabel Rato

2016-11-06 17:44:06 UTC

It seems to me very useful this rubric as easily visualize where you collaboration designed for the classroom have more and less quality, so we can reformulate the planned plans.
On the other hand, as was also mentioned, not all planned activities require a degree 5 of collaborative work.

Helly, Vienna

h_swaton — 2016-11-06 18:11:27 UTC

The rubric is useful in helping to understand the type and quality of collaboration. It may also help students who want to become teachers. But I don`t think it necessary to use this rubric for all my lerndesigns because it needs a lot of time to do so.

Michel

michelfreriks — 2016-11-06 18:14:40 UTC

Rubric is useful, although I need some examples. What I mean is: when two students make a poster together. And I decide on the content, and the students decide on the process and design, is their work interdependent? They have to make to poster in pairs, I am grading the poster afterwards, and they have to decide on serval things together. But is their work interdependent?

Jaime Martins, Portugal

I did not know the rubric tool and found it very interesting and easy to use, after analyzing it i see that my methodologies are on 4th level but level 5 is certainly my goal.

21 CLD Collaboration Rubric is a very helpful tool: it is an object to think with, a means to design learning activities and a means for assessment. I have never used it before, but I used a similar one , some years ago, when I thought “Project work”, a subject embedded in the curricula of secondary school, more precisely at the 12th. This subject doesn’t exist any more (for economical/financial reasons, I think).

The rubric presented by Professor Butler is useful of course, because it obliges the teacher to reflect a lot when planning collaborative activities. Also, it is important the question : “ how I can demostrate that the students share responsabilities, or make sustansive desicions, or where is the evidence that their work is interdipendent? All these questions are really useful but also challenging for me as a teacher, Indeed, how can I show that all these steps really happened within the group? I agree that the rubric is important both for planning the lesssons as well as for assessing the students work. I am aware that every time a teacher create the rubric or the assessment grid, it has to be given to students, so that they can have clear ideas of what final results are expected, from the very beginning.

So the advantage of the rubrics is that they are very valuable for teacher as well as for students and pave the way for peer- assessment. The disadvantge is that the rubric preparation requires more work for teacher and also an initial effort when the lesson is planned because the objectives, the output and outcomes have to be neatly selected before the lessons and activities start.

Yes, and I think that it can be an added value to facilitate the work's assesment.

It seems to be a nice tool.

Pedro Elias, Portugal

pedroelias — 2016-11-06 22:53:46 UTC

I have no doubt that the rubrics Professor Deirdre Butler Explained are very important to realize and, somehow, evaluate the quality of collaborative work. One of the doubt that I was in the previous module was the how could you evaluate the quality of collaborative work. Now here's an interesting way to do it. I had never used this or other rubrics to help me design collaborative learning activities.

María Napal/ Spain

mnapalf — 2016-11-06 23:35:21 UTC

Definitevely, this should be a very useful tool, both in the design phase and for self-assessment. Anyway, I'm not sure the steps should follow this order, or even follow a strict order. For example, is it more important having shared responsability than making substantive decissions? Couldn't it be that students make a work that is interdependent, but the activity (the design or the evaluation) fails to ensure that the students have shared and equal responsibilities?

Roberta, Italy

carnevale_roberta4 — 2016-11-06 23:45:18 UTC

I didn't know the rubric and I have never used anything similar. So it was very interesting to hear about it and I think it can be a very useful tool to design collaborative activity. I'll definitely try it. However, I have some doubts about the sequence of the different points. For example: I'm not sure that making substantive decision should follow "shared responsibility".. A group might work hard and share responsibility and at the same time not be able to take a substantive decision..

PA/Portugal

rolo_paula — 2016-11-07 00:09:48 UTC

It seems useful. Firstly to design the learning experiences and after that to assess the level of colaboration

Marina, Croatia

I have never used such a rubric, but it is very useful.

Cristina Fuertes, Spain

2016-11-07 10:02:47 UTC

I have used rubrics for assessing the collaborative of my students but, not this one. I think, it can be very useful because key questions and searching for evidences can help us to improve the activities.

Simona, the Czech Republic

simonabrothankova — 2016-11-07 10:31:17 UTC

I find the rubric very useful for me to realise if collaboration might even be necessary or not (code 1). I have never used anything like that. But now that I have seen it, I can consider my lesson plans in terms of collaboration. I am not certain though that the order of questions always reflects reality but maybe it is just lack of my experience that makes me think so.

Sue AUS

suzanne_durick — 2016-11-07 11:07:46 UTC

I think the rubric is a good tool from which to start planning. The 4 areas (the collaboration elements of group working, shared responsibility, substantive decisions & interdependent work amongst students) must be assessed, however I think the collaboration rubric must be embedded into the assessment rubric somehow or be as a second part to an assessment rubric - you assess on the learning outcomes + collaboration outcomes too.

Sonia Scribano Italy

soniascribano53 — 2016-11-07 11:29:31 UTC

I have never used a Collaboration Rubric to assess the type and quality of collaboration learning activity. But this rubric is a great tool to assess the level of collaboration and improve our learning activities and assess them better. I feel that this rubric is useful but I would not use it all the time as it is not always possible to have a level 4 or 5 collaboration work due to lack of time, resources...etc

Isabel Costa

susanarodrigues — 2016-11-07 13:41:13 UTC

No doubt that the key to the success of collaborative work is at the planning stage. The teacher to plan the activity and the assessment of that can use the rubric suggested by Professor Butler, it is very intuitive and easy to use.

Nehir ÇABUKER

nehircabuker — 2016-11-07 15:18:58 UTC

using the same rubric is as much as helpfull in my idea, because for a new case you need a new one maybe for the start point we can look up it then we should make new. So using that rubric make us to see the front

Veronica, Italy

vb_keohane — 2016-11-07 15:54:47 UTC

I think that Dr Butler's rubric could be very useful to think out a collaborative activity before actually designing it and then finally assessing it. As other people have said, we often have to assess contents as part of the outcome of a group learning activity and so perhaps it would be necessary to add another question to Dr Butler's rubric such as 'To what extent can they show to have improved their knowledge of the topic through working on the assigned task?"

Ana, Portugal

anasalonso — 2016-11-07 16:33:55 UTC

Indeed, I have no doubt that the rubrics Professor Deirdre Butler gave are very useful and helpful to understand the different levels of collaborative learning, step by step...
Although, I haven't used it yet.
I may say it helps us understand the level of collaboration involved in the activity we design and I think it also helps the teacher to assess students.

Rosália, Portugal

rosaliaribeiro_ — 2016-11-07 17:29:55 UTC

The rubrics presented by Prof. Deidre Butler may be useful to monitor the level of collaboration involved in a particular learning activity.
Depending on the goals or what we intend of a learning activity, when we use these rubrics previously, we can adjust our planning in order to match the level of cooperation we want or what we think is relevant in that particular context.
I knew these rubrics and already used them after the implementation of a learning activity, but never during the process of designing a learning activity or as an assessment tool.
The advantage of these rubrics is to allow us to adjust the level of cooperation of our learning activities, but I think the harder it is to collect evidence that can help us to draw conclusions about this.
Perhaps the practice and the recurrent use this tool can help us to get a clearer view of what may be the evidence and how to proceed to the collection of these.

Merle, Estonia

merle_pahn — 2016-11-07 18:56:50 UTC

The rubric is very helpful and I use these steps to design group or pair work.

Cristina/Pisa

2016-11-07 19:21:19 UTC

I think it the rubrics presented is useful before planning lessons as a teacher said rather than afterwards. I do not think that I could use it to assess my students. The product , the content and not only the way the students get to there should be taken into consideration.

Sirkku / Finland

sirkku_alin — 2016-11-07 19:31:46 UTC

Using a rubric is a good way to help planning learning designs. I have used NPDL (New Pedagogies for Deep Learning) rubric for our latest project-based work, and it really helped me planning the work as well as the students to understand the aims of their collaboration and evaluate their achievement during and after the project.

Ana Elisabete Teixeira, Vila Nova de Cerveira- Portugal

anasaojoaoteixeira — 2016-11-07 21:47:29 UTC

I think Butler's rubric on collaborative work is a valid solution for planning activities. I think it is helpful for the teacher to understand the type and quality of the collaboration that occurs in the learning activities that you plan.
After this video, I am more aware of the questions I have to ask myself before implementing the learning of a thematic unit.
The teacher can decide in the planning: what steps have or not to take, and structure a learning unit knowing what a good quality collaborative task is the goal of student learning.
So far I have not yet implemented rubrics in my teaching, and even my most collaborative and collaborative projects that have been evaluated according to traditional standards, testing both oral and written expression.

As it was showed on the video a rubric is very necessary in order to achieve Thebes's class objectives, it's often that we think we are engaging in collaborative activities where we are just making a group that is actually working individually and that is that we have to measure the kind of collaborative compromise we want to engage by using the strategies she shows here we can go from level 1 to 5 in the kind of collaboration is going to be exhibited
as well as the engagement from each student and the expectations they will have to meet in order of being successful and achieved what it is expected. I usually work with a rubric of what's expected but I haven't use this kind of measurement for the collaborative activities I design , but I will be using the shortly so I can assess the kind of collaboration that is needed throughout the projects.

Jana, Germany

oldpadlet — 2016-11-08 07:19:52 UTC

It is useful for reaching its goal of measuring collaboration, but not necessarily a way to create the best learning outcome.

Annamaria/Italy

anidigre1 — 2016-11-08 09:16:05 UTC

I've never used similar rubri before, I've read the article on 21 CLD Learning Activity Ribrics and I've find it very intresting in the way to analyze and decompose collaboration learning in different steps, related eah other in a logic and easy way, I hope it will be useful also for evaluation

Dulce Freire, Fernanda Cunha, Marco Fernandes and Vítor Silva, Portugal

2016-11-08 10:22:33 UTC

Until today, we did not know these rubrics. However, it makes sense if we want to draw a collaborative activity and make a careful assessment. However, we do not know at this time if we were able to implement them. Facilitates which to us seems complicated, monitoring and evaluation of the whole process, however, what is new at this, like us, seems to require a long temp preparation.

Inge, Belgium

2016-11-08 10:46:51 UTC

This is a very helpful tool! Especially in the beginning, you need to ask yourself everytime these questions. After a while, you get used to it.

Cinzia Masia, Italy

attasonitabas — 2016-11-08 12:00:34 UTC

I have never used such rubric in my activities! it is really interesting and useful. The advantages are that we can register how students collaborate while carrying out tasks in order to let them work properly. The disavantages can be that we need time to fill in it every time students work in groups.

Natália Ferreira, Portugal

2016-11-08 15:49:02 UTC

I learned about this instrument a few days ago. I have not yet used it in planning activities. It seems to me to be important to apply it when designing the activities and even to evaluate this same planning and the degree of involvement of the students in the collaborative work.

Manuela, Portugal

mortigao — 2016-11-08 15:57:19 UTC

I already knew rubrics and I think the rubric presented by Professor Deirdre Butler is useful in helping me understand the type and quality of my student's work. I already used some rubrics to help me designing collaborative learning. I think we have to adapt the rubrics to the specific work we intend to do with our students.

Fatih / Turkey

mrtoy — 2016-11-08 16:58:51 UTC

Throughout my teaching history, rubrics have always served me as a concrete routemap in my teaching activities.Using rubrics firstly provides transparency in the process. All the stakeholders in the collaboration group are beware of of what they need to do or not and to which degree they can perform.Rubrics can also utilized for giving feedback to individuals themselves. The rubrics may sometimes stand too abstract for that reason the subtitles or detail / anticipated outcomes or behaviors should be defined clearly with concrete examples so that assessment can be attained in a healty way as it is targeted.

Ângela and Tânia, Portugal

taniaalves23 — 2016-11-08 16:59:57 UTC

The rubric Professor Deirdre Butler is very interesting. We think it is necessary to plan the work, to set goals that we want to achieve. Students together should develop this work in a free and autonomous way (process). In order to adapt the final product to the goals proposed in the beginning. Finally, each student / group will have to be able to evaluate themselves and others. In this way, it will be easier for the teacher to evaluate the students.

Donatella, Italy

donatellacavion — 2016-11-08 20:15:07 UTC

I think that the rubrics are very important to design real collaboration learning activities for students. It's very interesting the frame given by Professor Deirdre Butler I think that it could be useful to follow her 4 steps/questions (Are students required to work in pairs or groups? Do they have shared responsability? Are they making substantive decisions? Is their work interdependent?) . I Have used a similar rubric last school year in a Clil project. It' s a good idea to use the rubric before designing the lessons because it helps teachers to see what a real collaboration is.
Here's an example of grid I used for group works.

Maria Vasilopoulou, Greece

mbasilopoulou — 2016-11-09 05:44:02 UTC

I think that rubrics are very useful for any kind of assessment and I have used them mainly as a self assessment tool for my students through the various stages of a project. I believe rubrics help students realise how well they have done through a project and evaluate their work somehow. When the results are discussed there is feedback and reflection upon their own work. For the teachers apart from assessing our students I believe they are very helpful while designing our collaborative activities.
The rubrics I 've used so far have been my own creation but I will try to implement the one presented here in my teaching.

The contents involved in this section are in my opinion very interesting from a pedagogical point of view, providing guidance that helps teachers in the planning and development of collaborative learning. The major advantage of this type of classification is to provide the teacher with a more accurate view of the type of development and responses that can be applied and collected with students.

Marianthi Arvanitidou - Greece

1canislupus22 — 2016-11-09 19:36:12 UTC

Forces the teacher to clarify criteria in detail.
Useful feedback for the effectiveness of instruction.
Motivates students to reach the standards specified.
Narrows the gap between instruction and assessment.
Flexible tool, having uses across many contexts, in many grade levels and for a wide range of abilities.
Potential to be transferred into grades if necessary.
Can offer a method of consistency in scoring by clearly defining the performance criteria.
Giving the child more control of their own learning process.
Potential to open communication with caregivers Rubrics can also restrict the students mind power in that they will feel that they need to complete the assignment strictly to the rubric instead of taking the initiative to explore their learning.
If the criteria that is in the rubric is too complex, students may feel overwhelmed with the assignment, and little success may be imminent.
For the teacher creating the rubric, they may find the task of developing, testing, evaluating, and updating time consuming.

MARIA RITA SEMINERIO, SICILY

mrseminerio — 2016-11-09 19:45:47 UTC

I think that this rubric is very important for teachers because it shows them the level of collaboration on their plan, the level of quality of the activity and the expected outcomes from it. I always do it in thought, never in a more formal way.

Domenica Marino, Italy

marinomimma16 — 2016-11-09 22:16:11 UTC

The rubric can actually be used to design learning activity where you are supposed to make substantive decisions together. The rubric becomes an object to think with for learning design and assessment. There are a lot of advantages using it because we can easily check the activity and if necessary make some adjustments.

Deborah, Austria The rubric is an extremely valuable tool for reflecting on lesson and activity planning. It helps to focus on the learning aims or Goals and how to actually get there. It also aids us in developing our planning, reflecting and assessing skills. I like the way we could use this type of rubric to build up the expertise of our pupils - step-by-step!

Lívia, PT

liviasor — 2016-11-12 12:07:05 UTC

The rubric makes you think about the different levels of collaboration you want, or nedd, for a diifferent task or its intended outcome. Level 1 would be more of an individual work with sharing answers, as 4 or 5 would certainly be shared responsability and important decisions made together.

Giuliana P. Spain

2016-11-12 13:09:12 UTC

Yes, quite interesting. And it helps thinking you do not need to cover necessarily the 4 questions..

Helene Stavropoulou, Grece

elenistavro7 — 2016-11-12 18:47:16 UTC

I found the rubric of Professor Deirdre Butler very helpful in understanding the type and quality of the collaboration that takes place in the learning activities that I am involved in.
No, I have never used similar rubrics. I used to make a rather empirical and improvised assessment.
The advantages are obvious: the rubric allows us a more reliable and objective evaluation of our different activities. The disadvantage that I see at first is that I do not quite understand the difference between shared responsibility and (code 3) and interdependent work (code 5).
Second, how to classify an activity where the students work alone but take important decisions for the rest of the project?

Laurentina Soares, Portugal

2016-11-13 00:11:16 UTC

sonia_castanheira — 2016-11-13 11:56:38 UTC

Deirdr Butler article regarding collaborative work is very useful to plan activities. This video helped me to have a self-awareness on the work I expect students can produce while working in specific subjects. I still did not implement any collaborative work methodology but I am planning to do so. I believe that only working like this, students can have a better understanding of the final collaborative working objectives, goals to achieve and what will be their own evaluation during and after working together.

It very positive, not only to plan the activity, as also to assess it. As we begin to use it,we can teach it to our students so they can do their self assessment.
The rubric becomes an object to think with, not only for us as also for the students.

I have never used any kind of rubric before and I think it is a very useful and helpful tool to evaluate collaboration in planning learning activities. and as a means of assessment. The main advantages are that you check every step in a precise way , but sometimes the reactions / reply of the students is very different from the ones you had expected.

Sílvia Alves, Portugal

f1181 — 2016-11-13 16:43:41 UTC

I didn’t know and had never used this method. In this way, we were able to reflect, analyze and evaluate better the activity that we developed with the students, with the collaborative work. It’s a type of work, very advantageous for the students, and can lead to more elaborate productions than the individual work.

Francesca- Italy

francescapulvirenti1 — 2016-11-13 17:02:39 UTC

margit_pollek1 — 2016-11-14 16:25:20 UTC

This rubric is new for me. This is an interesting way to classify collaboration.

Conceição Varela / Portugal

conceicao_varela — 2016-11-14 20:49:19 UTC

The rubric presented by Professor Deirdre Butler is very useful for planning our collaborative learning activities because it enables a structured approach to the design of the activities based on the four major areas of collaboration that we want our students to engage when carrying out the activities. The rubric is most useful when used at the start of the lesson planning process because it allows us to embed the major goals of collaborative learning in the activities right from the start. The rubric can also be a very helpful assessment tool.

Jose, Portugal

jafscruz — 2016-11-15 18:07:44 UTC

The rubric explained above by Prof. Deirdre Butler is very useful if we think about on assessment of the collaboration. The main advantage of thinking of it before designing the activity is to have a holistic notion of the deep of the collaboration we want to have in the classroom. The main disadvantage is, thinking in my experience in group work/pair work, to verify the level 5 in big groups, and to have right observations that can allow the teacher evalute this kind of deepness in loco.

Palmira Serrano, Portugal

palmiraserrano — 2016-11-15 22:50:06 UTC

This rubric is very important for the development of collaborative learning activities that the teacher designs. I have never used this rubric, but I think it will produce very good results.

Marília Portugal

mariliabacao — 2016-11-15 23:47:31 UTC

Yes, I think it's very useful and it could help us to see all the activity and if students are working together interdependently

Marina- Italy

marina_bottacin — 2016-11-16 09:07:29 UTC

Interesting video, good suggestions! I think planning is very important part of our work, lessons design are necessary and they facilitate the following work. The rubric is very helpful, but I think we'd also need to share a common assessment of all these sections. When I tried to evaluate collaborative activities, I had to record their discussions. This take a very long time and lacks of spontaneity. I'd better build indications that allow me to understand if the student are really achieving the steps planned.

Kristijan Cincar,Serbia

2016-11-16 21:34:52 UTC

Yes, I think it's very useful and it could help us to see all the activity and if students are working together interdependently

Patricia Azinhaga, P

pat_fialho — 2016-11-17 19:23:18 UTC

the rubric is a powerful tool, for both teachers and students. Teachers can use it to design learning activities but also for assessment as Prof. Deidre explained. This is a great tool for students as well and in my point of view the students should have access to the rubrics at the beginning of the activities in order they can perform at their best.

Isabel Cabo

isacabo_1978 — 2016-11-17 19:23:26 UTC

The rubric Professor Deirde Butler It's a very useful tool to helping me understand the type and quality of collaboration in the learning actiivities. I never use this or similar rubrics. I think these rubrics it´ll be very useful to design my activities.

Paula Duarte, Portugal

2016-11-17 22:22:13 UTC

I believe that using this model helps in planning the collaborative work to be developed and, above all, in evaluating the results of its application.
I have never used these rubrics.

Nazaré Firmino, Portugal

nazare_firmino — 2016-11-18 11:56:57 UTC

The rubric that Professor Deirdre explained is a new tool for me. I hope it will be useful to me from now on, because I consider it an interesting criterion of classification of the collaborative work. I also find that it is useful from the students' perspective as it will allow them to more easily assess their performance in collaborative work if it is made known to them before they start work.

Dina Andreea, Romania

dina_andreea55 — 2016-11-19 07:19:38 UTC

Wow, it really helped me to realize how we should build an collaborative activity, starting from those essential questions.

Münevver, Turkey

2016-11-19 13:40:21 UTC

The rubric is easy to use because it is simple and extremely beneficial not only in designing period but also in assessing learning activities. I have never used such a rubric so far; but I believe that although it will take me some time to design learning activities by the rubric, in the end I will be very pleased by the outcome. I think, I will find easily what I am looking for. It means that when I am designing my lesson, I can build in the collaboration from the start. I have also realized that if I do not use such a rubric, it may end up that my students are working individually rather than being interdependent of each other, which I do not want being in a situation like this.

Maria Tomaz, Portugal

anjostomaz1 — 2016-11-19 13:58:00 UTC

This presentation is very interesting and useful, it seems simple, clear and objective. When I carry out project-based or group-based learning strategies, I find myself reformulating the gri
ds for evaluating the strategy itself, precisely because it is not easy at all. It is a very useful suggestion that I will apply

Rui Vieira, Portugal

miguelvieira_com — 2016-11-19 15:25:22 UTC

After viewing the video I understood that checklists and rubrics are great to manage pedagogical steps, resources to get better results . Nevertheless they need to be flexible and adapted to students' levels , workgroups, and chosen task . I also understood that learning activity that we design can requires the students predominantly to work alone or to work in groups. So, it is very important that the teacher can be capable of understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each method so that the students can develop each time more their knowledge and skills.

This rubric is very useful to design a collaborating lesson. Having it in mind helps us to plan really collaborative activities and at the end it is also important to assess the collaborative work too. For sure a great advantage till now I design my collaborative learning activities my own but now with these steps to follow I think I will improve my design of

Rubrics are very valuable for teachers to design collaborative learning activities and to assess the quality of students' responses as well. This one in particular seems very useful to understand the type and quality of collaboration. I've never used this rubric until now but I'll try to use it in the future. I've already used others and they worked quite well because the students became engaged in their own learning process. Two advantages: a rubric gives a basis for self-assessment, reflection and peer- assessment; students are in control and participate in their learning process.

I think this lesson is extremely important to implement and evaluate collaborative work. For learning through collaborative work to be meaningful, it is important for all elements to collaborate, share responsibilities, make decisions together, work independently and share information.

Genova , Italy
I think I really need a rubric like professor Butler’s shown.

All the steps are really important and I can understand what kind of learning activity I design and what quality of collaboration I try to develop.

I haven’t used similar rubrics before, I understand some aspects but not all the complexity .

Eu nunca itens para o trabalho colaborativo, apenas usados para avaliar os alunos nas áreas de conhecimento utilizado, mas eu acho que pode ser muito posistivo ensinar nossos alunos autoavaliarem seu trabalho no grupo em que estão integrados, para além da responsabilidade do trabalho que desenvolvem. As ideias de professores Deirdre Butler pode ser uma maneira muito interessante. Isso nos leva a refletir sobre a importância de varas estágios de aprendizagem colaborativa, bem como a sua estrutura anterior, tais como: o papel dos estudantes, a sua responsabilidae e empenho no trabalho. Para nós, os professores, se a atividade for oreientada bem, é também mais fácil de avaliar

Escellent video, escellent graph showing the rubric on how to design collaborative activities.... It may be easy to get to step number 1 and 2, but you do have to sit down and revise certain activities that I though were collaborative to check if I achieve steps number 3, 4 and then, 5.
I just printed out the graph and I´ll have it always nearby when designing and structuring my activities.
Thank you, it was really helpful!! :-)

The main advantages are that you check every step in a precise way , but sometimes the reactions / reply of the students is very different from the ones you had expected

I never used a CLD rubric before, but I think it has advantages. I think it is a very useful rubric to have in mind from designing a collaborative learning activity, to evaluating it and modifying it, if needed, for future implementation. When students are responsible for their learning, they feel more engaged, more involved and can be created on student need, willingness to learn and take action, developing therefore study skills.

Assuming that these are the correct parameters for "Co-lab" planning assessment (wich I think they are), we have in this rubric a very straight-out routine to validate projects in their early phase.
And, knowing that new learning methodologies always bring along a wide range of fears and concerns when they are experimented by teachers, we might be considering a very reassuring tool for the ones who are trying to give "Co-lab" a chance.

The collaboration rubric, explained by Professor Butler, is very interesting because it makes us understand what the true goal of collaborative learning is, which is to build an active learning process.

I have never uses a CLD rubric before but I have asked myself if there was a way to access collaborative learning and the rubric presented can really be a very useful tool to use with my students. Thanks.

In my opinion CDL collaboration rubric is a simple and useful tool to understand the quality of collaboration. I'm going to try it in my classes

I find useful the rubric Professor Deirdre Butler explained I think it is useful in helping I understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in the learning activities my design. I have used similar rubrics before to help I design collaborative learning activities.

I think it is ever so useful to understand the type and quality of collaboration taking place in learning activities I design. I will work on using the rubrics to have a greater awareness of the process.

The assessment by using the Rubric that Professor mentioned in step by step is very useful for colobrative learning environments.So that we used such smilar assessment in a project last year .There was not same this rubric.I think that this method is Excellent.

Forces the teacher to clarify criteria in detail. Useful feedback for the effectiveness of instruction.
