Theme: Group assignments
Ready to rethink group work so it delivers more for you and your students?
In this session you’ll discover how to design group assignments that are both academically robust and genuinely supportive of collaboration. Together we’ll explore the added value of group work while also taking a critical look at common pitfalls. You’ll work with concrete pedagogical principles: from creating tasks that are suitable for groups and fostering collaborative competencies to addressing conflict in groups.
This won’t be theory only. We’ll analyse real examples, practise with dilemmas and investigate ways to strengthen your own assignment. You’ll leave the session with a toolkit of practical tips and the insight to improve existing assignments or to develop new ones.
Meeting: March 26, 2026, 09u30 - 12u30, Campus Drie Eiken (the exact location will be communicated at a later time).
Deadline (optional) assignment: April 16, 2026
This session will be given in English
Important: In this session we focus on group assignments. By this we mean assignments that students work on over a (somewhat) longer period. A group project is therefore not confined to a single contact session; students typically continue working on it outside scheduled sessions and it usually results in a specific product (for example, a presentation or a paper).
