Sample refs from Peter Felten, Katie King, Ben McFadyen, Taylor Binnix of Elon Univ. in Symposium 2011 session 2:


Join FridayLive! 1st Session 2011-12 FREE online Sept 9, 2pm ET for Recap and Extension of 4th Annual Online Symposium on Small Mixed Collaborative Groups.
 

TLT Group Members are also invited to participate in a "small mixed collaborative group" to continue developing these guidelines and resources in academic 2011-12!  To volunteer for this working group, send email to Rebecca Kurtz:  kurtz@tltgroup.org
We believe that working with small groups and focusing on small, realistic steps will lead to more widespread, long-lasting meaningful changes. In fact, in these especially challenging times, small steps may be the ONLY way to keep moving - in the right direction.

The resources listed at the beginning of this posting samples from Working Draft: "Guidelines/References for Frugal Innovation thru Small Group Collaboration" tlt.gs/SGCguide.  Based on the work of the TLT Group's 4th Annual Online Symposium on Frugal Innovation and Collaborative Change:  "You are not alone!  Small Mixed Group Collaboration" (August, 2011). 


See the homebase Web pages for each of the 3 online sessions:
Session 1 Session 2 Session 3

(registration for the Symposium was free to TLT Group members).

The Symposium strongly influences the TLT Group's agenda for our weekly FridayLive! online sessions. Our 2011-12 "season" begins on September 9, 2pm Eastern with a recap and extension of this summer's work on Small Mixed Collaborative Groups. In the Symposium, guest presenters discussed specific kinds of successful small-group collaboration:

  • Student-Faculty - Session 3, Elon University et al.
  • Faculty-Faculty - Sessions 1, 2, 3 - Temple University, Miami University of Oho, Elon University et al.
  • Faculty-Librarian - Sessions 2, 3 - Miami University of Ohio et al.
  • Faculty-Faculty Development, and Faculty-Tech. Participants - Sessions 1, 2, 3 - Temple University, Miami University of Oho, Elon University et al.
We welcome all in higher education - faculty, librarians, faculty developers, administrators, and students; but we especially encourage small groups of colleagues from the same institution.
