Collaborative Projects

Many of us include var­i­ous col­lab­o­ra­tive and group activ­i­ties in our class­es. In addi­tion to cre­at­ing space for stu­dents to hone their team-build­ing skills, group projects offer a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to devel­op com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills.

We know that for solv­ing com­plex prob­lems, diverse groups per­form bet­ter than homoge­nous ones. We also know that with diver­si­ty comes a greater pos­si­bil­i­ty of mis­un­der­stand­ings. Pro­vid­ing stu­dents with expe­ri­ence work­ing across diver­si­ty in a sup­port­ive and safe envi­ron­ment is an essen­tial part of a col­lege edu­ca­tion.

In this sec­tion, we explore a Col­lab­o­ra­tive Online [I]ndigenous Inter­cul­tur­al Learn­ing Path­way, that sup­ports instruc­tors in cre­at­ing col­lab­o­ra­tive projects that inter­weave Indige­nous and inter­cul­tur­al per­spec­tives.
