Partnerships in ICTs in Learning: Advancing professional learning pedagogies with collaborative knowledge creation technologies (Project closed off)

In this project, a small group of pre-service teachers enrolled in the Graduate Diploma program at University of Canberra adopt specific communications tools and processes to enable them to trial and promote collaborative knowledge building pedagogies in selected ACT secondary classrooms. Team-based learning will underpin the professional learning model illustrating how a team learning system can be used to create a distributed, real-time community of learners and learning in whch the participants model, mentor, scaffold and facilitate a program of object and context design to create simulations and learning objects to meet the needs and interests of learners.
