Essential Update #5: Distributed intelligence, Community and collaboration tools in University

Distributed intelligence, Community and collaboration tools in University

As you know, learning in University that you have to study by yourself, research by yourself under the instruction from your professors. And in a university, they have a thousand students to study and research. And the university would change or customize for each student by their self as well as possible in this way or another way. And University, they also need tools or systems or applications to do these things. More special, in the assignment of them. In some learning systems like Moodle, ... it had been supporting many ways to control the assignments of the student. It can help student submit, interact his/her assignment with other students. And the professor as a tutor to help them do an assessment.

In an assessment or evaluation module, the tutor can be showing something incorrect meaning or words with some notes. They also give the “Formative and Summative Feedback” for that assignment and student can reply there as “recursive feedback” in many times. These things can make the community way to improve the knowledge and the way to learn for a student when they have a chance to “debate online” with others as partners and professors.

Sometimes, the student needs to collaborative the assignment as a group assignment. Student can apply the learning system/tool as Moodle, ... to adjust the task in a team. And the result of the assignment will affect to team. This also kind of distributed task in a team and collaborate.

That’s some ways in university that I’m working in Vietnam to improve the learning quality for students. These activities brought back to the professor and student know the way to comment, reply to the information in a multi-dimension way. Distribute, collaborate and recursive feedback for each other.
