  • Lunch and Learn: Using CATME to create and manage collaboration in the classroom

    Category: Grad School, University-Wide Lunch and Learn: Using CATME to create and manage collaboration in the classroom


    June 3, 2024

    Date: 

    Monday, June 3, 2024 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

    Location: 

    Virtual

    Instructors use collaborative learning groups within the college classroom to help students reach a variety of different outcomes.  Matching individual students to specific groups and then monitoring their effectiveness over the course of the semester can be a time-consuming process.  Advances in team science research at Purdue University have led to the creation of one of the most popular pieces of software used by academics to help make this easier: CATME (www.catme.org).  In this session, we will discuss setting up groups in CATME, training the students in collaboration, and then having them self-evaluate. 

    Presenter: Seth Hunt 

    A zoom link will be sent closer to the date of the workshop. 

    Registration is required.

    Safeguarding the integrity of research and creative activities is fundamental to the mission of Michigan State University. We owe no less to the public which sustains institutions like ours and to the governmental agencies and private entities that sponsor the research enterprise. All members of MSU share responsibility to assure that misconduct or fraud in research and creative activity is dealt with effectively and that MSU's high standards for scholarly integrity are preserved. This workshop will review types of misconduct (fabrication, falsification or plagiarism) that occur in proposing, performing, or reviewing research and scholarly activities, and best practices to avoid these. The session will also cover proper behavior in mentor-mentee relationships.

    Conduct in research spans a spectrum, from that performed with integrity to true research misconduct. Accusations of misconduct are incredibly serious, and the consequences grave. This session will help you understand the spectrum of behaviors that can arise while performing research and scholarly activities. Examples of misconduct and detrimental research practices will be presented. There will be discussions about best practices to follow to avoid research and scholarly activity misconduct and detrimental practices, and to whom one should go to with concerns about research activities. The session will review the processes of reporting, investigating, and reviewing alleged misconduct.
