Course Success Series: Structuring Effective Group Work

Register

Social learning, or group learning, is the most important way for students to gain experience and skills in collaboration, critical thinking, self-reflection and the co-creation of knowledge. Learners benefit from frequent, meaningful opportunities to engage with each other. However, there are also many challenges managing groups and teams for both the instructor and students.  In this session, you will explore strategies and develop a plan to manage student groups and facilitate productive group interactions.
