lack of common learning goals among the student

Preparing the learner for collaboration through instruction and development of the social and group skills necessary to work effectively in a group will have a positive effect upon the collaborative experience (Chapman & van Auken, 2001; Tideswell, 2004).

Most group projects require extra time (Goold, Craig, & Coldwell, 2008), and groups must take responsibility for organizing their collaboration and individual inputs (Lizzio & Wilson, 2005).

Social loafing behavior creates an imbalance of effort and participation (Goold, Craig, & Coldwell, 2008), such that free riders (Kerr & Bruun, 1983) are able to take advantage of the contributions of others

perception of an asymmetric collaboration among the teammates was identified by the students as the most important source of frustration

Summary tk

Modern note taking has seen a reversion to pre-Renaissance practices in which they're much more temporary tools. Relatively few students take notes with an aim for reusing them past their immediate classroom settings or current term of study.

The revitalization of the idea of the zettelkasten in the late 2010s seems to be helping to reverse this idea. However, there aren't enough online versions of these sorts of notes which allow them to be used with other publics or even to be used and shared with other collaborators. There are some growing spaces seen in the social media note taking space like the anagora.org or the digital gardens space where this seems to have some potential to take off. There's also a small community on Hypothes.is which seems to be practicing this as well, though direct links between various collections of notes is not commonplace.

We couldn't do this ourselves, but we might be able to write a proposal to do this with CCRC. It would be really interesting to explore whether we could track FFN providers using CCR&R level admin data. Churn? Movement into and out of licensing systems?

This seems like a deep and troublesome tension. "Support" meaning "show me how to make this task better" is different from "emotional support" or even the previous paragraph's "support meaning collaboration".

Stephen Johnson uses the word collaboration to describe his interaction with his own notes in DevonThink, much the way Niklas Luhmann describes with working with his Zettlekasten.

Conversation around Adam Grant's Think Again.

• Task Conflict vs Relationship Conflict
• The absence of conflict is not harmony; it is apathy
• Beliefs vs Values; what you think is true vs what you think is important. Be open around beliefs; be committed to values.
• Preachers, Prosecutors, Politicians... and Scientists: defend or beliefs, prove the others wrong, seek approval and be liked... hypothesize and experiment.
• Support Network... and a Challenge Network. (Can we force ourselves to have a Challenge Network by using the Six Thinking Hats?)
• Awaken curiosity (your own, and other's to help them change their mind)
• Successful negotiators spend more time looking for common ground and asking questions to understand
• Solution Aversion: someone rejecting a proposed solution may end up rejecting the existence of the problem itself (e.g. climate change)

Lot of rich stuff here - "maximize choice" implies that there is a defined bound; it's not mere anarchy. The "power differential" (between student and teacher) is "inherent"; this is not a call for pure equality of status.

Collaboration, increasingly, happens where we work.

As it becomes more clear what the functional job to be done is, we see more specialized apps aligned with solving that specific loop. Collaboration is increasingly built natively into them.

This is a fascinating take apparently from Collaborative Circles: Friendship Dynamics and Creative Work by Michael P. Farrell

Through a study of freshman students, the author aimed to determine the success of the Wiki for collaboration. Results revealed variances in learner responses and use of the tool. Lack of use was explained by individual barriers (family, social, work) and system barriers (wiki design). The authors conclude that for the Wiki to be an effective, collaborative tool, additional resources must be provided to the learner, and the Wiki must be meaningful in its design to foster that participation. 7/10

The author provides a comprehensive overview of Web 2.0 technologies, their use in online learning recommendations, and considerations for implementation. (7/10)

(Click on download full text to read.) Through a cooperative learning assignment, University students responded to a case study that implemented use of a Wiki. Results demonstrate that Wiki is an effective communication and collaboration tool (access, structure, versioning) for all individuals (introvert, extrovert). Recommendations and considerations for use in the learning environment were provided. 6/10

It isn't rocket science, but as Jon indicates, it's incredibly powerful.

I use my personal website with several levels of taxonomy for tagging and categorizing a variety of things for later search and research.

Much like the example of the Public Radio International producer, I've created what I call a "faux-cast" because I tag everything I listen to online and save it to my website including the appropriate <audio> link to the.mp3 file so that anyone who wants to follow the feed of my listens can have a playlist of all the podcast and internet-related audio I'm listening to.

When not much could be improved in the realm of collaboration (because it wasn't yet technologically possible), it wasn't of much importance.

Now that the technology exists, the importance of collaboration has become paramount. Collaboration is the ultimate measuring stick for any tool used in a team context.

The key insight the Figma team had was that the design process involves a wide range of people, conversations and artefacts within an organization. Figma brings all those into one place.

The vision of Slack, according to Kwok, was for people to have their productivity in designated apps, and have one central nervous system (Slack) through which they could collaborate. This was based on the assumption that producing and collaborating could be separated.

Kwok claims that this assumption is wrong. Collaboration and productivity are intertwined, and you might event say that collaboration serves productivity.

Dropbox is not a solution to this problem, even though they've been trying with Carousel, Mailbox and other desktop apps.

Kwok posits that Dropbox's problem is that when your fundamental atomic unit is a document, you constrain your ability to own the workflow. Besides, Kwok points out, they never owned the communication channels.

The shift to digital work removed the friction inherent in analog work (e.g. copying things, moving things, constructing things). The new bottleneck to productivity became collaboration – which remained "remarkably analog" according to Kwok (e.g. document version control was non-trivial).
