Rena Palloff, a faculty member at the Fielding Graduate Institute, recently spoke about the advantages of creating a “fishbowl” for learning.
Students are graded on their collaborative work that involves posting to an online discussion group throughout the semester. As we move into the age of Collaboration this skillset is going to be increasingly important. Awhile back I posted about the fact that online gaming actually increases collaborative skillsets needed for todays’ virtual world.
The skills of posting, tracking and collaborating online are increasingly important, and the individual that possesses these skills will succeed at the end of the day. It is nice to see a collegiate teaching philosophy that seeks to augment these skills.
