Student collaboration, projects, discussion, and other forms of group
work significantly enrich the learning experience. Although many
instructors’ notions of group work are tied to the face-to-face class
setting, the basic principles of group work apply online. Accounting for
the shift in context in online teaching, this session will offer
suggestions on making good teams, supporting student working groups, and
assessing both group dynamics and students’ products. Participants will
also receive tips for handling live breakout discussions and
asynchronous online discussion groups that support group work.
