Description
Taking the Pain Out of “Group Work”
When you think of assigning group work for your students, do you cringe and know that you will have a multitude of complaints about “slackers” from your students? Do you think the pain is not worth the gain but know it’s good for students? Participate in planning a new way to approach collaboration in Canvas by attending this session.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1) Employ effective strategies and online tools when designing collaborative activities for students
2) Invent their own innovative strategies for designing collaborative activities for students
