Thinking of implementing a team project in your course? Team-based learning (TBL) is a powerful pedagogy that fosters problem-solving and active learning. Students can develop teamwork skills important for their future career. However, team projects can present challenges for both faculty and students.

In this session, we will explore key considerations for planning a team project in your course. We will discuss strategies for managing and supporting student groups during the term. You will also receive a few pointers about mêskanâs features useful for group work, along with examples, templates, and other resources.

Dr. Lyle Benson, our guest speaker, will discuss his teaching experience and research in this area. It is recommended that you read Dr. Benson’s essay Teaching Students How to Succeed in Group Assignments in advance of the session. This paper was published in Pedagogical Inquiry and Practice, hosted at MacEwan.
