COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Enhancing Learning Experiences in Partially Distributed Teams

计算机科学(31)受之前资助的美国国家科学基金会关于学生部分分布团队的试点研究(DUE-0623047)的成功结果的启发，这一倡议正在通过创建一套三个学习和教学模块来扩展，以发展计算机科学本科课程中学生和教职员工关于有效跨距离合作所涉及的复杂性的专业知识。遵循一种称为基于团队的学习的教学策略，模块一专注于发展学生的专业知识，并重点关注三个关键领域：(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”之间的紧张关系，以及(3)识别和适应不同的“距离”因素(地理、时间和文化)。第二单元侧重于项目规划和师资准备，目的是建立一个共享的学习环境，作为PDT项目的基础。单元三侧重于通过最初的同步研讨会课程，然后在项目期间进行持续的异步交流来培养教师的专业知识。

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.
