Abstract

Traditional approaches to educating university students, where the instructor “transmits” content from the front of the class to students, are still popular at universities in Australia. It is clear that these approaches are increasingly failing to engage a digitally connected generation of social learners. Traditional lectures provide students with little opportunity to explore lecture content, collaborate with peers, or interact with the instructor. Monash University has been developing a collaborative learning environment that encourages students to participate in a personal learning journey independent of their physical location. This is enhanced by flexible learning spaces designed to facilitate a peer-based educational approach. Initial results indicate that these educational innovations are transforming the pedagogy, space, and technology of education to better meet the needs of twenty-first century learners.

Fußnoten
1
Network logs indicate that 53% of students at Monash University connect to the wireless network. In 2010, 79% of incoming Monash students reported owning a laptop or notebook, 41% have a Web-enabled phone (e.g., iPhone, BlackBerry), and 61% participated in social networking, e.g., Facebook, MySpace (Monash University 2010).

King’s (1993) article “From sage on the stage to guide on the side” has been cited 171 times according to Google Scholar.

CP provides other benefits to make ink-based instruction easier, including larger buttons, easier navigation, extra writing space, and whiteboard functionality.

See http://​www.​hp.​com/​hpinfo/​grants/​education.​html for more information. Under the program, institutions receive a class set of HP Tablet PCs as a grant for exploring new ways of engaging and educating students. Of the 80 institutions that received HP Technology for Teaching Grants during 2004–2008, at least 12 explored the potential of CP.
 
7
Screencasts are very popular with tablet-based instruction, allowing the capture of complex sequences of annotations, e.g., science-based slides such as mathematical formulae, chemical structures, or ICT architectures.
 
8
Crowdsourcing is ‘group intelligence’, allowing every student to contribute their individual insights and experiences in an incrementally developed learning experience.
 
9
Student notes in Ubiquitous Presenter are an addendum to the slide rather than part of the slide deck.
 
10
Although CP3 is generally robust for up to about 80 students, if three or four students enter after the start of the presentation, CP3 can become unstable for as little as 20 users. This instability can be avoided by requiring all students to connect to the session before the lecture begins; however, this is not a sustainable or practical approach.
 
11
A major limitation of CP3 is that a student’s annotation can be obstructed by subsequent instructor annotations. Being able to move one’s annotations out of the way was a far more amenable solution than having to erase them.
 
12
The networking implementation in.NET’s Windows Communication Foundation.
 
13
ejabberd is used by Facebook and others to support large numbers of instant messaging clients talking to each other; XMPP is the protocol most modern instant messaging clients use.
 
14
These can be imported as images to look exactly like the PowerPoint slide or as individual objects on the slide to allow editing.
 
15
LDAP groups are directory services filters based on roles and group memberships.
 
16
This included an overview of the hardware and how to ink in OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word.
 
17
Ongoing regular evaluation activities analyzed the health, success, and impact of the project, including in-class data collection, individual consultations, focus groups, surveys, and technology performance data.
 
18
As far as the authors are aware, there is no research exploring learning space design and impact from an experimental design perspective.
