Video Vignettes From a Global, STEM-Focused, Virtual, Student Makerspace Collaboration

• In Event: Innovative International Research

Abstract

The learning community examined in this paper involves students collaborating on STEM-focused media projects who engage with one another in synchronous video conference calls, known as global online meet-ups. The range of interactions observed in meet-ups highlight rich exchanges that can take place in an informal, distributed learning setting. This paper utilizes video vignettes to capture and expand on these student to student interactions, and reflect on their impact on the learning experience.
