A book co-authored by UW–Madison’s Clifton Conrad and Todd Lundberg received an honorable mention in Forbes magazine’s “The Best Higher Education Books Of 2022.”
The research-based book, “Learning With Others: Collaboration as a Pathway to College Student Success,” argues that “collaborative learning should be emphasized at the core of undergraduate education,” according to the Forbes article. In it, the authors relate what they’ve learned from more than 300 interviews, along with notes from 14 campus visits, three national convenings, and more. Drawing on a three-year study of student persistence and learning at minority serving institutions (MSIs), it pushes readers to reimagine what a college education could be by placing collaborative learning — and teaching students how to become shared problem solvers — at its core.
Conrad is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor with the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis. Lundberg is the associate director for campus partner engagement with UW–Madison’s Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring.
