- Enhancing Collaborative Learning with Technology:
A Conversation with Dr. Andrew Milne
Please join staff from Academic Technologies as we welcome to campus Dr. Andrew Milne for a presentation and an open-forum discussion of collaborative learning, collaborative assignments, and the ways in which both can be enhanced and made more effective with technology. Dr. Milne will demonstrate how to overcome some of the challenges and barriers encountered in typical collaborative assignments and will describe how collaborative software in particular can help turn struggling groups of students into high-performing teams that learn and work together more productively and effectively. During the sessions, you'll have opportunities to share with us your thoughts on the integration of technology with collaborative learning at Boise State, and to learn how you or your department can receive a free TeamSpot Collaboration Station for use by students during the 2009-10 academic year, consisting of a big-screen display, host computer, software license, and cart. Full description and registration . . .

bringing immediate feedback and interaction to lecture courses. "Clickers" use small keypads, which wirelessly transmit student input to a receiver connected to a computer used
by an instructor. More . . .
