COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Enhancing Learning Experiences in Partially Distributed Teams

计算机科学（31）由以前资助的NSF试点研究（DUE - 0623047）对学生部分分布的团队的成功结果通知，这一举措正在通过创建一套三个学习和教学模块，以发展学生和教师在计算机科学本科课程的专业知识，涉及跨距离有效合作的复杂性。遵循一种称为团队学习的教学策略，模块一侧重于发展学生的专业知识，并突出三个关键领域：（1）预测和支持团队发展生命周期，（2）诊断和解决子团队之间的“我们与他们”紧张关系，（3）认识和适应不同的“距离”因素（地理，时间和文化）。模块二侧重于项目规划和教师的准备，以建立一个共享的学习环境作为PDT项目的基础。模块三侧重于通过最初的同步研讨会会议，然后在项目期间进行持续的异步交流来发展教师的专业知识。

Computer Science (31) Informed by the successful outcomes of a previously funded NSF pilot study (DUE - 0623047) on student partially distributed teams, this initiative is being extended by the creation of a set of three learning and teaching modules to develop the expertise of both students and faculty in computer science undergraduate courses regarding the intricacies involved in effective teaming across distances. Following an instructional strategy known as team based learning, Module One focuses on developing student expertise and spotlights three key areas: (1) anticipating and supporting a team development life cycle, (2) diagnosing and addressing the "us versus them" tension between sub-teams and (3) recognizing and accommodating different "distancing" factors (geographic, temporal, and cultural). Module Two focuses on project planning and preparation of faculty for the purpose of establishing a shared learning environment as the foundation for the PDT project. Module Three focuses on developing faculty expertise through an initial synchronous workshop session followed by continuous asynchronous communication during the project.
