TOGETTHERE

ToGetThere is a centralized digital repository of interventions and activities designed to help teachers and students learn, perform, and reflect in group work. It also serves as an online community of practice designed to promote sharing and learning between teachers, researchers, and students... We build on Tuckman's model by adding a sixth stage - expressed as a continuum - reflection. We believe reflection is a key component of learning. While some group projects incoroporate this kind of metacognative work about the content of the assignment, in our research we found that only in the most rare of circumstances do students have an opportunity to reflect on the experience of collaboration. We have designed experiences, activities, and interactive reflection forms that allow both students and teachers to think about this critical question - and to learn from their own insights about teamwork.
