Collaboration and Teamwork Community of Practice (CTE7001) - Strategies for Addressing Common Problems in Teamwork

Friday, December 6, 2019 10:00 am - 11:00 am EST (GMT -05:00)

Facilitator: Katie Plaisance (Knowledge Integration)

Location: MC 2036

Description

The Collaboration and Teamwork Community of Practice is co-organized by the Department of Knowledge Integration and Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE).  The purpose of the community of practice is to provide an opportunity for instructors – as well as those who study collaboration and teamwork -- to connect with their peers to share examples, experiences, ideas, resources and best practices around collaboration, teamwork and group work in education. This is the second meeting of the community of practice (CoP). 

In this session, there will be an in-depth discussion (and report back) of some common problems in teamwork/collaboration based on common problems identified in our survey as well as the first CoP meeting. 

Topics include: Forming groups, Motivating students, Social loafing, Interpersonal conflict, Making decisions/agreement, Grading & peer evaluation.
