The interviewees include: Gerhard Fischer, Michael Main, Sebastian De La Chica, and Amer Diwan. The information obtained by these interviews have given us great insight into the Professors point of view of student collaboration, as well as both positive and negative aspects of the different tools they use (or don’t use) to allow their students to collaborate. The informal transcript and summaries of these interviews can be found on the Collaboration Independent Research Wiki Page (http://l3dswiki.cs.colorado.edu:3232/dlc-2006/61) We are also looking into the previous research of William Beachley, Jun Chen, Huda Khan, Sarah Kim-Warren, Scott Zweig on the topic of Collaborative Learning in Classroom (DLC 2004). We plan to incorporate their research into our own in order to continue to build on the subject of Collaboration and its use in a classroom setting. Changes In Schedule We are currently on schedule. Group Work To Be Completed The following tasks still have to be completed: *Complete all of the interviews by the end of the week (3/10) *Summarize the Collaborative Learning in Classroom Project
