May 5th — 12-1pm Pacific – ZOOM — Designing Effective Group Work

Students have mixed feelings about group work, but when designed intentionally, group work has the potential to amplify learning and foster community. Join CAT staff to discuss the mechanics of group work, which include aligning tasks with learning objectives, scaffolding short and long term projects, assigning groups and roles, managing conflict with group charters and norms, and assessing group work effectively (including effective implementation of peer and self-evaluation). We will also discuss strategies for using technology to support group work in both remote and face-to-face courses.
