| Description: |
This workshop explores how to design, facilitate, and assess small group projects that promote deep learning, collaboration, and student engagement. Participants will hear from faculty colleagues and examine common challenges in group work—such as unequal participation, conflict, and assessment fairness—and learn evidence-based strategies to address them.
Topics include forming groups, scaffolding collaboration, integrating peer evaluation, and aligning projects with course outcomes. Faculty will leave with a toolkit for implementing project-based learning in a way that is inclusive, manageable, and meaningful.
Learning Outcomes: Participants
will be able to…
1) Describe best practices for facilitating effective small group collaboration. |
