Break-out Room Discussions (follow link for a summary report):
For this meeting, all the break-out groups focused on the same theme: Group Work. We posed three questions to start the discussions. We hoped that the feedback from the discussions will allow us to capture good practice and ideas for the future.
- Question 1: What are the benefits and challenges of group work while working online?
- Question 2: How can group work be included in different types of module and how should it be structured?
- Question 3: What are the best methods for assessing group work?
Collated reports from the break-out rooms will be posted here.
