Collaborative Peer Learning Supports Cognitive Affordances of Technologies

In an effort to break out of the traditional framework of instructor led coursework, the University of the Rockies is piloting a collaborative peer learning model. In tandem, the university struck up a relationship with George Mason’s Dr. Dabbagh and applied a modified version of the Cognitive Affordance of Technologies Scale framework created by her students. This framework provided key elements of evaluation to review the design elements created in the collaborative peer learning model. This paper provides the initial ideas behind this project that will be carried out in early 2015.
