Abstract

Collaborative learning needs tasks suitable for collaboration. As part of a project to study the design of collaborative environments, we describe how a partnership with an undergraduate mathematics professor led to the development of a boundary practice for collaborative task design. Initially there was a tension between the researchers' preference for ill-structured tasks and the professor's priority of conceptual over computational problems. We discuss how focus on a single task resolved the tension and gave both researchers and the professor useful design tools for meeting their respective goals in subsequent task revisions.
