What Works for Online Teaching

Collaboration: ideas for online group and collaborative assignments

Collaborative learning encourages students to effectively work with peers, help each other learn, and feel a sense of belonging to a learning community. Instructors can design collaborative learning activities for pairs, small groups, or larger groups, including peer learning, pair sharing, problem-solving, and more. In this workshop faculty will share their experience with student collaboration in online courses.
