Occasionally I have some material to cover that is best presented in the form of take-home group projects.
Some student groups manage to find a way to coordinate their work well and to complete the projects successfully, with every team member benefiting from the collaboration. Other groups do not do so well:
- Some groups evenly divide the work, but still work in isolation, losing the benefits of working with peers.
- Some groups push the work to one or two students, while the remaining students merely contribute their name.
I wonder if there are strategies or tools instructors use that can encourage more groups to operate successfully while they are working outside of class?
