Factors Contributing to Successful Collaborations

• Environmental– Perceived role as a legitimate leader– Political and social support

• Membership– Mutual respect, understanding, and trust– Appropriate cross section of stakeholders– Belief in the benefits to be accrued/self-interest– Ability to compromise

• Process and structure– Shared stake in process AND outcome– Multiple layers of participation– Organizational flexibility/agility– Explicit roles and guidelines– Adaptability (e.g., major changes to goals, members, etc.)– Pace

Factors Contributing to Successful Collaborations (cont.)

• Communication– Practice the five “Cs”—clarity, completeness, conciseness, concreteness, and correctness– Develop informal relationships and communication links

• Purpose– Specific and attainable goals and objectives– Shared vision– Unique purpose

• Resources– Sufficient funds, staff, materials, and time– Effective leadership

Preparation for Facilitating Collaboration

• Understand the problem– Group characteristics

• Size• Proximity• Time• Composition• Cohesiveness

– Task characteristics• Identify and define tasks/steps and sub-tasks/sub-steps• Identify complexities of identified tasks/steps

– Technology characteristics• Anonymity• Group memory• Speed• Media characteristics• User friendliness

– Contextual characteristics• Organizational culture• Time pressure• Evaluative tone (summative vs. formative)• Reward structure

Preparation for Facilitating Collaboration (cont.)

• Develop alternative solutions• Evaluate alternative solutions• Select alternative solutions• Develop and implement a plan

– Develop a timeframe for completing tasks/outputs– Document and distribute plan– Beta-test plan

• Monitor results– Assess outputs

• Task-related– Effectiveness– Efficiency

• Social – Satisfaction– Consensus– Commitment– Usability

Effective instructional design models

• Systematic design of Instruction model (designing information literacy programs)

• Backward Design of Instruction model (designing information literacy sessions)

More instructional design models:

Systematic Design of Instruction model

• Identify instructional goals• Conduct instructional analysis • Analyze learners and contexts• Write performance objectives • Develop assessment instruments• Develop instructional strategy• Develop and select instructional materials• Design and conduct formative evaluation of instruction• Revise instruction

Dick, W., Carey, L, & Carey, J.O. (2005)

Backward Design of Instruction model

Stages of the backward design:

• Identify desired results• Determine acceptable evidence of learning• Plan learning experiences and instruction

Wiggins & McTighe (2005)

Solid theoretical frame

• ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards• Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education• Scaffolded learning• Knowledge building theory• Collaborative learning (peer editing)• Blended learning• Project-based learning

Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education

Good practice:

• Encourages contact between students and faculty• Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students• Encourages active learning• Gives prompt feedback• Emphasizes time on task• Communicates high expectations• Respects diverse talents and ways of learning

Chickering & Gamson (1987)

Scaffolded Learning

• Use of temporary supports or “scaffolds” to assist learners complete complex tasks independently

• Based on Lev S. Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development Theory

Knowledge Building Theory

• Production and continual improvement of ideas of value to a community

• Creation or modification of public knowledge• Collective cognitive responsibility
