Collaborative Discussion Guides: Scaffolding Socialization and Learning Community Belonging

A successful foray into teaching the necessary skills of socialization to construct belonging into a learning community can be seen through the assignment of Collaborative Discussion Guides (CDG). CDGs provide students with a framework to engage their fellow classmates as they guide each other through deciphering and learning from a text. In this interactive session, instructors will try their hands at developing a Collaborative Discussion Guide, complete with a summary, guided reflection, large group discussion questions, and activity. This session will benefit undergraduate and graduate instructors of classes meeting regularly for five or more weeks in any academic discipline. While the greatest benefit is in face-to-face courses, implementing CDGs into hybrid (or with modification for synchronous or asynchronous online) modalities can also gain benefits.
