collaborative CONVERSION What is Collaborative Learning? Collaborative learning is an ed- ucational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. In collabo- rative classrooms, the lecturing/ listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students’ discussion and active work with the course material. Regardless of the specific approach taken or how much of the lecture-based course is re- placed, the goal is the same: to shift learning from a teacher-centered to a student-centered model. How do I convert my classroom? Update your entire classroom or one zone at a time over the course of a few years. Each zone high- lights specific areas of learning and teaching and helps to rethink key factors: physical space, resourc- es, changing roles of student and teacher, and how to accommodate all learning styles.
