*Lineamientos para el desarrollo del trabajo colaborativo
Planeación de actividades para el desarrollo del trabajo Roles a desarrollar por el estudiante Roles y responsabilidades para la producción de
colaborativo dentro del grupo colaborativo entregables por los estudiantes
Primer paso: reconocimiento de actores como sujetos.
Los estudiantes al inicio del curso, en el espacio destinado
para ello, se reconocerán como participantes de un grupo
colaborativo, podrán presentar sus fortalezas al servicio del
grupo y definirán los canales de comunicación (datos de
contacto, dirección de correo institucional y personal,
skype, links de redes sociales.) de los cuales dispondrán
para interactuar de manera efectiva y proactiva.

Segundo paso: planeación de las actividades académicas.


De acuerdo con los elementos que componen el principio
de acción responsable, los estudiantes pueden diseñar un
plan de trabajo a partir de la reflexión analítica de la
agenda de actividades, el plan de evaluación, las guías y
rúbricas entregadas para el desarrollo de cada actividad
académica.

Diseñarán una propuesta para la planeación de su trabajo


colaborativo, para lo cual podrán tomar como insumo la
guía presentada en la tabla 1, que responda a las
particularidades y necesidades de la estrategia de
aprendizaje que movilice el trabajo que se va a desarrollar.
En cuanto a la definición de roles, es importante que éstos
puedan determinarse con base en la propuesta que hayan
realizado los directores de curso y la red de docentes, con
el fin de hacer que el espacio colaborativo se enriquezca
desde el diálogo de saberes y el debate académico.
Es importante aclarar que cada escuela acorde con su
disciplina, con la movilización de conocimiento en su
profesión y con los propósitos de formación del programa,
puede presentar alternativas diferentes de roles a ser
tenidos en cuenta por docentes y estudiantes.

Escuela: ECEDU Programa: Licenciatura en Inglés como Lengua Extranjera.
Curso: Basic English II Código: 551009
Tercer paso: puesta en escena de los principios de trabajo
colaborativo. Es importante que los estudiantes
interioricen cada uno de los principios del trabajo
colaborativo y los pongan en práctica desde el inicio del
curso académico y con ello asegurar la excelencia en sus
procesos de aprendizaje y la presentación de productos
escriturales que respondan a la calidad esperada en el
curso.
Recomendaciones por el docente:

Leer cuidadosamente la guía de actividades y rubrica con el fin de seguir paso a paso las indicaciones relacionadas.
Interactuar constantemente con el grupo colaborativo su tutor y director de curso.
Tomar en cuenta las políticas de plagio de la universidad a fin de realizar trabajos dentro de los preceptos de protección de derechos de autor.

Uso de la norma APA, versión 3 en español (Traducción de la versión 6 en inglés)


http://es.slideshare.net/CFPsicologia/3-citas-y-referencias-bibliogrficas

Políticas de plagio: ¿Qué es el plagio para la UNAD? El plagio está definido por el diccionario de la Real Academia como la acción de "copiar en lo sustancial
obras ajenas, dándolas como propias". Por tanto el plagio es una falta grave: es el equivalente en el ámbito académico, al robo. Un estudiante que plagia no se
toma su educación en serio, y no respeta el trabajo intelectual ajeno.

No existe plagio pequeño. Si un estudiante hace uso de cualquier porción del trabajo de otra persona, y no documenta su fuente, está cometiendo un acto de
plagio. Ahora, es evidente que todos contamos con las ideas de otros a la hora de presentar las nuestras, y que nuestro conocimiento se basa en el conocimiento
de los demás. Pero cuando nos apoyamos en el trabajo de otros, la honestidad académica requiere que anunciemos explícitamente el hecho que estamos
usando una fuente externa, ya sea por medio de una cita o por medio de un paráfrasis anotado (estos términos serán definidos más adelante). Cuando hacemos
una cita o un paráfrasis, identificamos claramente nuestra fuente, no sólo para dar reconocimiento a su autor, sino para que el lector pueda referirse al original
si así lo desea.

Existen circunstancias académicas en las cuales, excepcionalmente, no es aceptable citar o parafrasear el trabajo de otros. Por ejemplo, si un docente asigna a
sus estudiantes una tarea en la cual se pide claramente que los estudiantes respondan utilizando sus ideas y palabras exclusivamente, en ese caso el estudiante
no deberá apelar a fuentes externas aún, si éstas estuvieran referenciadas adecuadamente.
