Academically their value is unmatched and employers demand the skills they develop, but many students continue to view group projects as an unnecessary chore. The power to change that attitude is now in your hands.
Online Group Work: Making It Meaningful and Manageable is designed to help instructors navigate the new and exciting world of online group assignments. Group projects of all types require a change in student perception. But unique to online group assignments is a need for customized projects, strong guidance and tools to encourage success.
Teaching students how to collaborate and showing them the best way to expend cognitive energy in a group setting is a key element, and the stakes are high. The work world demands the teamwork and Web 2.0 ability developed through group projects.
You'll learn how to:
• Create dynamic assignments that align with your existing online framework
• Attack and change negative student perception of group projects
• Structure assignments for maximum efficiency
• Increase student satisfaction and engagement
• Take advantage of new Web 2.0 tools
• Implement instructor and peer support systems
• Teach students how to work in groups through more efficient use of cognitive energy
The seminar includes handouts and other supporting materials to guide the implementation process.
