COACTION LEARNING LAB

VISION

The CoAction Learning Lab takes a community- and human-centered stance when exploring and integrating emerging technologies in global higher education. This approach acknowledges that people come first and pedagogy should be shaped based on learning effectiveness. Technology has the potential to significantly enable goals including bolstering agile and open practices, advancing technological literacy/fluency among faculty and students, promoting cross-discipline collaboration, and establishing a foundation for future and ongoing investigation. With support from CoAction Community Partners (institutional members), this program will turn edtech thought leadership into action leadership by generating an online library of resources that advances technology innovation at the intersection of pedagogy, design, implementation, and learner engagement.

As the inaugural product of CoAction, the online repository will curate high-quality, openly licensed existing resources, such as research, articles, papers, videos, and visualizations, and publish original work of the CoAction Learning Lab. Access to these resources — and the CoAction Learning Lab community — will engender important values that inform technology integration throughout higher education.

CoAction Learning Lab Values

Community Partners submitted their top three desired outcomes for this community based on consensus between students, learning facilitators, and technology leaders. From these entries, six common values emerged. Collectively representing a vision for an ideal higher education future, these values will become the organizing principles of the CoAction online repository.
