Synthesis and Design Workshop on Digitally-Mediated Team Learning

Call for Participation: NSF-sponsored Synthesis and Design Workshop on Digitally-Mediated Team Learning (DMTL)

NSF is sponsoring Travel Stipends to instructors/researchers who are using or researching Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning or technology-enhanced active learning approaches for synchronous team-based learning in classroom settings. United States citizens/permanent residents are eligible for support. The Workshop will be held Sunday, March 31, 2019 to Tuesday, April 2, 2019 in Orlando, FL. During the two-and-a-half-day workshop, participants will be afforded opportunities to participate in a Poster Session, Keynotes, Panel Sessions, Breakout Technical Sessions, and Action Committees.

The purpose of the Workshop is to identify, discuss, and formulate 1, 3, and 5+ year research and development plans organized into four tracks:

1) instructional technologies to facilitate team learning in classroom settings,

2) data analytics to personalize team learning,

3) pedagogical strategies for technology-enhanced cooperative active learning in STEM, and

4) empowering equitable participation through digitally-mediated team learning.

The deliverable to NSF will be a White Paper composed jointly by the organizers and participants that captures the essence of the discussions at the workshop. Those who are utilizing, researching, and advancing computer-supported collaborative learning/work, team-based learning/training, or cooperative learning instructional technologies or pedagogies are encouraged to apply prior to the January 31, 2019 deadline via the project workshop website:
