Teaching at UW: Structuring Effective Group Projects

Group projects can be some of the most exciting, engaging and eye-opening activities for your students. Social learning offers students unique opportunities to gain experience and skills in collaboration, critical thinking, self-reflection and the co-creation of knowledge. While there are many benefits of group projects, there are also many challenges managing groups both as a participant and as the instructor.

In this session, you will:

1. Explain the value of group projects for student learning.
2. Draft an outline of a group project.

This workshop is part of the Teaching at UW Program.
