Like we always tell our students... we are entering a conversation when we collaborate. 

Is there still "an individual" if we believe Adams St. Pierre that we are always-already collaborating?

Can equal input  happen without conflict? 

We think equal input can happen without/with minimal conflict (depending on how you define conflict). 

We can create contract/shared vision/guiding principles to enter common grounds. 

But we have to recognize that everyone has their own agency, and that agency needs to be valued in any collaborative effort. ]]> 2017-10-01 14:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192765791 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192766190 What is the difference of collaboration, co-elaboration, and cooperation? 

"Collaboration is a coordinated, synchronous activity that is the result of a continued attempt to construct  and maintain a shared conception of a problem" (5).

(p. 9)

Quasi-synchronous collaboration is close to real collaboration but it is not fully real-time. It is better than asynchronous collaboration because collaboration is better when it's closer to real-life interaction.  ]]> 2017-10-01 14:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192766847 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192767078 What do you use in your class or work to create a collaborative learning environment?

Chakrika Jennifer and Evelyn

- Emphasize names but students don't communicate with each other (don't refer to each other by name) --- encourage them to use each other's names - to act like colleagues
- Need for more dialogue with each other
- Use ice-breakers (various, including oriented around names)
- Put students in different groups throughout the semester
- Use name cards/tags
- Use of pronouns (i.e. they, etc.)
- Maybe it's a question of time
- Give students a note card; ask students: is there a way to  make the class more comfortable/valuable

How is internal and external dialogue important to collaboration? 

Internal dialog (internalized conversation) is necessary for external dialog (within a community of scholars, business, government people) to take place. Collaboration takes place in the externalized space once the conversation has taken place in the internal space of one's thought process.

"We converse;
we internalize conversation as thought; and then by writing, we re-immerse
conversation in its external, social medium," says Bruffee.

Team JRN claims this land. We are willing to negotiate though. ]]> 2017-10-01 15:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192767539 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192768317 What is normal discourse and how does it promote a collaborative learning experience? 

"...the sort of writing most people do in their everyday working lives..." 

A set of socially accepted conventions occurring within a specific, stable context. 

This is important for the collaborative process, because people need to have a similar vernacular and shared conventions to effectively communicate. Students benefit from this, because the ultimate goal of academic training is to communicate effectively with your chosen field. ]]> 2017-10-01 15:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192768317 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192775943 Bruffee states that "knowledge is maintained and established by communities of knowledge peers" (p.646). What do you think he means and how can it be applied to collaboration knowledge? 

It makes us think about establishing of conventions for a discourse community (i.e., what is acceptable and what isn't). It can be applied to collaboration knowledge in terms of normal/abnormal discourse. Normal discourse is when everyone is on the same page and understanding. Abnormal is when that's not the case. Abnormal discourse is pushing for new knowledge, while normal discourse is maintaining current knowledge. ]]> 2017-10-01 16:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192775943 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192779271 What kind of pedagogy are encouraged for instructors to use when trying to create a collaborative work environment? 
- Nobody comes in as blank slates - so honoring prior knowledge
- Initiation-Response-Evaluation (similar to IRE from the article) --- not productive
- Apply feminist pedagogy: decentralize authority and empower all members of the class - might promote collaboration
- Need for explicit instructions
- Disrupting norms of the classroom.]]> 2017-10-01 16:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192779271 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192779811 What is the difference between participation and collaboration? 
-  As Janda sees it, participation is conforming to the prescribed role you're in (input-output model)
- Collaboration is more generative, different power dynamics 
- Collab doesn't follow I-E-R

Will this model have the same effect or do we need a pedagogical framework?
Response: Thomas reported  that "[o]verall, the results show that the collaborative writing assignment was successful in helping the students to learn about working in a team. Although some of the teams experienced problems, they were able to overcome those problems and most of the
students (over 90% for all aspects) had a positive experience of working in teams and felt that they had learnt something about team work that they would use in the future." The second cycle reported mixed results in enjoyment of the collaboration, but overall there appeared to be respect and other positive assessments of the collaborative process. I would argue that the adapted model seemed functional, but the transfer didn't seem 1-1. A pedagogical model based on Thomas's work would be useful for pedagogical application.]]> 2017-10-01 16:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192780306 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192780975 Is having a contract among group members promote collaboration? ]]> 2017-10-01 16:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192780975 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192786180 2017-10-01 17:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/192786180 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193942251 Discuss the term that Restaino appropriates to collaborative writing]]> 2017-10-04 16:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193942251 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193942333 Discuss the term that Restaino appropriates to collaborative writing. ]]> 2017-10-04 16:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193942333 nevar025 https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193943160 Discuss the term that Restaino appropriates to collaborative writing. ]]> 2017-10-04 16:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nevar025/l5or2ziy58y0/wish/193943160
