Collaboration sucks in Dodge 150

Not enough projects/group work

There is no incentive for teachers to encourage collaboration

Room layouts don't encourage collaboration

not built into the curriculum

Classes follow assessment-based structures

classrooms are all standard

Students don't mesh well together

Not used to collaboration

layout is focused on the position of the professor

Study all night information you will forget

students come from various backgrounds

some buildings were built when project-based learning was not common

Low wages result in a decrease in innovation

easier for teachers to assign/grade a scantron

hard to measure/grade accountability

Students may not care about a subject they are being forced to work on

:

Boring and repetitive

success is based on the grade you get, not what you learned

Students use personal electronic devices that encourage individual work

Currently don't have a way to guarantee educational value to students

Tables that would allow for collaboration make it awkward for half the class to look at the professor

Baked into our current system, people are comfortable and complacent

Wide-scale change to education is difficult for students, teachers, and management

Students go along with the current way of learning and don't raise concerns to teachers

Difficult to structure a project in such a way that gives you freedom but still focuses in on a specific concept

some students prefer to take control of a project, and some are just along for the ride

Technology in aging rooms hampers collaboration

students who are harsh graders in peer reviews are frowned upon by other students

Tables currently used have people sitting on all 4 sides, there is no "front " to point at the professor

Teachers will be compensated the same whether students are happy with how they are learning or not

there are many required classes which may have little value to some students

Bulk materials/designs are cheaper and easier to acquire and maintain

Educational culture of testing has made students competitive as opposed to collaborative

lower levels of education don't emphasize group work as much

Lack of long-term assessments encourages cramming

professors are required to give only a certain amount of A's

Competitive system only has room for X amount of students to succeed at the highest level

In the new hybrid classroom model it is increasingly difficult for students to collaborate

that value is perceived differently for each student

Students are working in different time zones which makes meeting challenging

rooms are now virtual and lose the important face-to-face interactions

Collaborating over video conference can be awkward - people frequently talk over one another, have choppy audio/video, etc.

If everyone succeeds, it becomes harder to differentiate students

Students can become distracted or disengaged when learning from their apartment or home

Numbers make sense

no encouragement of new teaching methods

Students may resist collaboration because they don't want to do other peoples' work

use of these devices can result in browsing the internet / social media and other activities that result in students not being engaged in collaborating with their classmates

Technology Sucks

not used

Video Conferencing Sucks

Useless

Difficult to learn

Unclear Value

Technology is constantly evolving

Hard to pick up on conversation cues

Can't connect new machines to old hardware

no face to face communication

compatibility sucks

Inconvenient

Laggy video is annoying

people choose not to use it

Still feels Isolated

Sharing video, presentations, etc. sucks

little initiative to learn

Unnatural interface

not everyone has best equipment

Talking at a screen is awkward

Internet sucks

Good internet is expensive

expensive
