Collaborator – Dining Table Carolyn Nesbitt-Larking
Describe each person you worked with: All the people involved were from various academic institutions across the province. We shared our ideas concerning international students and the challenges they face when understanding how to conduct themselves in an academic setting. What learning can take place in a classroom while adhering to the requirements of academic integrity.
All of us had teaching experience but approached how we developed in-class activities that identified student learning and advancement with course material. How to use the classroom as an ongoing ‘learning lab’ where authentic material was created by students within those confines.
Despite sharing a common background in teaching, each person brought unique insights and challenges to the table. What methods worked and why, and what we all still struggle with meeting the learning targets in a short period of time.
Modes and communication tools used for collaboration: We did a combination of in-person work shops and Teams meetings. It was important to try and have some face-to-face time so we could explore in more detail examples and build on what we considered ‘best practices’ from previous experience. This type of collaboration works well, especially as many of us may be partial load, sessional academics without any real institutional connection; but generally feeling like lone wolves in the academic wilderness.
I will not be posting on ‘X’ as this is a mode of social media I no longer have confidence in.
