      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Summary: Tips to Develop Reciprocity and Cooperation

Tips to Develop Reciprocity and Cooperation

  1. Design learning activities that require collaboration.
  2. Design initial interaction activities to develop trust quickly.
  3. Encourage study groups.
  4. Design activities that require students to work together to complete a shared document.
  5. Emphasize collaboration through both the design of the course and the presentation of the content.
  6. Use techniques that foster cooperation: peer reviews, group projects, learning teams, etc.
  7. Encourage students to share contact information or use the Blackboard roster to seek assistance and to work on projects.
  8. Many students do not know how to work in groups. Either directly teach these skills or make information available to students.
  9. Consistently use language that places the expectation of cooperation and collaboration in front of the students.
