Added Value Model of Collaboration in Higher Education

Abstract

An important factor for developing quality multimedia materials is that future developers should know the learning preferences and applicable strategies of potential students in depth and should also be able to look critically on the products developed by others and to be able to evaluate the added value of their own and others contributions.This paper describes our teaching strategy using an online collaborative methodology with added value based on: (a) generating student profile, (b) online knowledge building and (c) evaluation strategy.The applied methodology integrates e-learning preferences of different learning style dimensions and takes into consideration students' expectations in learning situations as well as their background knowledge and skills.Knowledge building was realised by means of oral presentations and discussions and finalised within the online learning environment.Developing critical thinking and monitoring this learning progress was carried out by self-evaluation and peer-evaluation of one's own products and those created by others and final evaluation required summed performance to be divided among students upon negotiated merits.
