Group-work video resource

Help for tutors > Overview

 

Group and collaborative learning is becoming an integral part of many undergraduate programmes, but in many cases students do have the required skills to work effectively in groups.

This resource has been designed to offer tutors a number of options. You can work through from start to finish or, more likely, you can dip in and out highlighting specific episodes to illustrate current issues or challenges. The episodes can also be accessed by students independently, allowing you to use the resource for pre-session familiarisation, embed it into a learning session or signpost it for post session reinforcement.

By making the resource flexible in structure and generic in content, it can be embedded into most established learning programmes or used as a stand-alone resource. It can also provide a reference point for reflective journals or group learning logs.

To gain an overview of the content of the episodes and the learning outcomes take a look at the episode planner (you may find it useful to print a copy for reference) (include as a printable PDF?). The menu on the right provides more information on the components of the episodes.
