Collaboration : Philosophy of Education in Practice
Collaboration is widely celebrated as an ability schools should teach children to practice.Yet collaboration has a darker side, as its use to refer to those complicit with Nazi occupiers and with colonial oppressors of many kinds suggests.In effect, “collaboration” is a contranym, a word that can mean something or its opposite.To collaborate can mean to work with one’s friends and colleagues for the common good.It can also mean to sell out one’s friends and colleagues for the sake of personal gain.What can schools do to encourage the first and discourage the second?The loyalty and commitment to shared ends that collaboration implies may seem a positive good only insofar as those loyalties and ends are also good – but how to judge? This book asks: to whom should one be loyal and what are the limits of loyalty?What responsibility do collaborators bear for the outcomes of their joint projects?Should I make those friends and those responsibilities my own?These are questions children learn to answer in schools, through the formal and informal education that happens there.Amy Shuffelton explores those questions in the context of children’s lives in schools, including examples from films, literature, and children’s own accounts of moral dilemmas they face around questions of friendship, authority, and their own developing agency.She argues that rather than collaboration being a simple, good practice, considerable care is needed to ensure it serves individuals and their communities well.

Scientific Collaboration : Strategies for Successful Research Teams
A narrative guide to help scientists improve their collaboration techniques and build trusting relationships with their research teams. The days of scientists conducting solitary inquiries in isolated labs are effectively over, with most researchers instead collaborating in cross-functional teams.In addition to mastering the technical skills necessary in their respective fields, scientists must now learn strategies for better communication and relationship building to succeed in reaching their research goals.In Scientific Collaboration, biosecurity researcher and animal disease ecologist Jeanne M.Fair shares exciting—and occasionally cringeworthy—true stories of scientists working together.These examples provide an approachable way to introduce the principles crucial to effective scientific collaboration. From the global community of scientists measuring sea-ice decline to cooperative private-public sector investigations of harrowing virus outbreaks, the experiences described demonstrate how scientists can rise to meet challenges together.Fair explains how to foster the principles of community, integrity, loyalty, communication, and compassion among teams.Scientists adopting and applying these principles will improve communication and trust among team members while they work toward the common goal of discovery. Highlighting multidisciplinary research teams that have achieved transformational breakthroughs as well as stories of tough lessons learned, Scientific Collaboration provides a foundation for increasing research productivity while bringing more fun into the collaborative process.This book will appeal to all scientists and team leaders in this new scientific world, wherein the most important breakthroughs happen through cooperation, combined effort, and mutual trust.

Art, Design and Technology: Collaboration and Implementation
This book examines how digital technology is being used to assist the artists and designers.The computer is able to store data and reproduce designs, thus facilitating the speed-up of the iterative process towards a final design which meets the objectives of the designer and the requirements of the user.Collaborative design enables the sharing of information across digital networks to produce designed objects in virtual spaces.Augmented and virtual reality techniques can be used to preview designs before they are finalized and implemented. Art and design have shaped the values, social structures, communications, and the culture of communities and civilisations.The direct involvement of artists and designers with their creative works has left a legacy enabling subsequent generations to understand more about their skills, their motivations, and their relationship to the wider world, and to see it from a variety of perspectives.This in turn causes the viewers of their works to reflect upon their meaning for today and the lasting value and implications of what has been created. Art installations are harnessing modern technology to process information and to display it.Such environments have also proved useful in engaging users and visitors with real-time images and interactive art.

Design Thinking Research : Making Distinctions: Collaboration versus Cooperation
This book summarizes the results of Design Thinking Research Program at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, USA and the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany.Offering readers a closer look at design thinking, its innovation processes and methods, it covers topics ranging from how to design ideas, methods and technologies, to creativity experiments and creative collaboration in the real world, and the interplay between designers and engineers.But the topics go beyond this in their detailed exploration of design thinking and its use in IT systems engineering fields, and even from a management perspective.The authors show how these methods and strategies actually work in companies, and introduce new technologies and their functions.Furthermore, readers learn how special-purpose design thinking can be used to solve thorny problems in complex fields.Thinking and devising innovations are fundamentally and inherently human activities – so is design thinking.Accordingly,design thinking is not merely the result of special courses nor of being gifted or trained: it’s a way of dealing with our environment and improving techniques, technologies and life.This edition offers a historic perspective on the theoretical foundations of design thinking.Within the four topic areas, various frameworks, methodologies, mindsets, systems and tools are explored and further developed.The first topic area focuses on team interaction, while the second part addresses tools and techniques for productive collaboration.The third section explores new approaches to teaching and enabling creative skills and lastly the book examines how design thinking is put into practice.All in all, the contributions shed light and provide deeper insights into how to support the collaboration of design teams in order to systematically and successfully develop innovations and design progressive solutions for tomorrow.

Research as Development : Biomedical Research, Ethics, and Collaboration in Sri Lanka
In Research as Development, Salla Sariola and Bob Simpson show how international collaboration operates in a setting that is typically portrayed as "resource-poor" and "scientifically lagging." Based on their long-term fieldwork in Sri Lanka, Sariola and Simpson bring into clear ethnographic focus the ways international scientific collaborations feature prominently in the pursuit of global health in which research operates "as" development and not merely "for" it.The authors follow the design, inception, and practice of two clinical trials: one a global health charity funded trial and the other a pharmaceutical industry-sponsored trial.Research as Development situates these two trials within their historical, political and cultural contexts and thus counters the idea that local actors are merely passive recipients of new technical and scientific rationalities.While social studies of clinical trials are beginning to be an established niche in academic writing, Research as Development helps fill important gaps in the literature through its examination of clinical research situated in cultures in low-income settings.Research as Development is noteworthy for the way it highlights the critical and creative role that local researchers play in establishing international collaborations and making them work into locally viable forms.The volume shows how these clinical and research interactions bring about changes in culture, technologies and expertise in Sri Lanka, contexts that have not previously been written about in any detail.
