Inter-school Team & Collaboration
I've been wondering if email and the Internet don't present us an opportunity to collaborate across campuses (Ms. Guidon, my 10th grade Latin teacher, would have me write campi, but it looks a little pedantic in 2006, Ms. G., God rest your soul. (No way could she still be alive -- she was as old as Cicero, back then!)). Anyway, The topic came up today in a conversation among several profs from different campu..., ah, schools.
The idea is to form teams comprised of students from two different schools. Maybe two students from school A are grouped with two students from school B. (Or maybe three per school?) The students would be given the same project or case to work, with the same proportion of their grade on the line. Students would work together in virtual teams. Students would learn to collaborate with people whom they've not met -- and each team would benefit from the expertise of two different profs, in two different universities.
If you're interested in pursing this for the Fall, 2006, send a note to Ideas@TeachingMIS.com. Provide the dates of your term, the level of your students, and the types of activities you do, and I'll try to match you with a like minded professor. Sort of an MIS team collaboration dating service...
