The rise of a knowledge-based economy and society calls upon schools to produce a citizenry who can work across boundaries to collaborate, create, and solve challenging problems. The Technology-Augmented Co-Creativity Lab (TaCCL), directed by Dr. Jianwei Zhang at the University at Albany-SUNY, is dedicated to explore innovative models of learning with technology to engage students in collaborative and creative knowledge building across disciplinary areas. Our current work focuses on:
- Pedagogical innovation to foster collaborative knowledge-building processes (e.g. knowledge-building discourse and metadiscourse, opportunistic collaboration) that are essential to real-world knowledge-creating communities;
- Social and technological infrastructure (e.g. Idea Thread Mapper with cross-community knowledge spaces) to support sustained collaboration and creative work with ideas across communities;
- Learning analytics and intelligent feedback to trace idea progress and enhance creative interaction;
- Teachers’ engagement in principle-based design and innovation to enable sustained knowledge building among their students.
