Abstract

This book gathers papers presented at the 22nd International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL2019), which was held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 25 to 27 September 2019. Covering various fields of interactive and collaborative learning, new learning models and applications, research in engineering pedagogy and project-based learning, the contributions focus on innovative ways in which higher education can respond to the real-world challenges related to the current transformation in the development of education. Since it was established, in 1998, the ICL conference has been devoted to new approaches in learning with a focus on collaborative learning. Today, it is a forum for sharing trends and research findings as well as presenting practical experiences in learning and engineering pedagogy. The book appeals to policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, school teachers, and other professionals in the learning industry, and further and continuing education.

Abstract

"The book chronicles the history of the collaborative partnership between MIT and the Singapore Ministry of Education to create the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the country's fourth public university. Fisher describes how MIT faculty communicated the practices and identity of the Institute as they developed and executed the vision for SUTD, and how local actors at the university reframed, modified, and adapted these practices to fit the local political, cultural, and economic context in Singapore. Fisher focuses on the early years of SUTD's development. She looks at the Singaporean government's intentions in founding a fourth university, and how prior research partnerships with MIT provided the confidence on both sides required to design an innovative curricular structure for SUTD. Using the techniques of ethnography, Fisher investigates the personal and professional incentives for MIT professors to invest their time and expertise in the project, how the early SUTD administration managed to market the fledgling institution to Singaporean students while dealing with temporary campus facilities, and how the first cohorts of students negotiated the unfamiliar pedagogy and curricular structures designed by MIT"--
