Expand cooperative learning through technology. In this course, you will explore three types of online cooperative experiences: tele-collaboration, WebQuests, and project-based learning. Examine the basic elements of each model and how to apply them to a project. As a final task, develop a teaching unit that employs one model, including both an assessment rubric and an implementation plan.
Apply new strategies to develop your students' problem-solving skills.

Then, select a problem for your students to solve and craft a lesson plan that demonstrates the learning process.
