>> the DANCE talk series.  Miaomiao Wen, research data scientist at Coursera,

>> at 12pm on October 31, 2016.  Hold this time!

>> 
>> This talk reports on dissertation research focused on support of productive 
>> team formation in team-based MOOCs. The key idea is that students should 
>> have the opportunity to interact meaningfully with the community before 
>> they are assigned to teams. That discussion not only provides evidence of 
>> which students would work well together, but also provides students with 
>> significant insight into alternative task-relevant perspectives prior to 
>> collaboration. A validation study demonstrates that this teaming procedure 
>> increases team performance at a knowledge integration task by at least 3 
>> standard deviations while also increasing the prevalence of positive 
>> collaborative processes during collaboration
>> 
>> The talk will be recorded and can be viewed on YouTube any time after 
>> October 31.
>> 
>> We hope to see many of you online on October 31.  The Google Hangout on the 
>> air link will be available shortly.
>> 
>> Best,
>> Carolyn
