Learning from each other – sharing strategies for effective groupwork. 

Workshop Overview: 

This workshop is an opportunity to learn from each other about what effective groupwork looks like. During the workshop we shall explore the benefits and challenges of groupwork. Come prepared to share best practice and collaboratively find solutions to recognised problems that groupwork can encounter.  

In this workshop, you will begin to consider how to: 

• Structure group tasks to align with learning outcomes 

• Manage group dynamics and fostering equitable participation 

• Identify assessment strategies that reward teamwork and individual effort 

Who it is for: 

• University lecturers, tutors, and curriculum developers 

• Anyone looking to begin or improve group-based learning design in HE contexts 

Why attend: 

Participants are encouraged to share their experiences of groupwork openly. This workshop is therefore an opportunity to learn about what works well in a Lancaster University context with the aim of transferring this to your own context. Alternatively those with experience of groupwork will have an opportunity to consider how to enhance this so activities are fully effective.
