About the Conference Theme

Collaboration in higher education encompasses multiple forms of joint intellectual effort by students and instructors working together towards a shared goal. This year's conference showcases a range of collaborative teaching and learning activities, practices and tools from across the undergraduate and graduate curricula at the University of Guelph.

To model the collaborative theme, this year's conference is jointly sponsored by the College of Arts and the College of Physical and Engineering Science.

A plenary address begins the day, followed by individual and team-presented showcases and workshops. Sessions focus on how collaborative teaching and learning activities help instructors, co-instructors and students achieve desired learning outcomes in their courses. Three conference streams provide a framework for the day's presentations.

Collaboration in the Classroom

• case studies and problem-based learning
• group games and simulations
• study groups and peer-led team learning
• group learning and assessment

Collaboration and Technology

• virtual teams
• wikis, blogs, tweets
• Desire2Learn and Web 2.0
• peer editing tools
• concept mapping

Working Collaboratively

• team teaching/co-teaching
• teaching across disciplines
• student/instructor collaboration and mentorship
• learning circles
