This seminar will help you design group activities in your myLesley course. We will identify strategies for designing and scaffolding group work. You will also design a series of learning activities, tied to your course’s learning objectives, that require students to work collaboratively (either completely online or across face-to-face and online activities). We will provide resources for structuring and assessing these activities. Tools explored in this seminar may include Group areas and discussions, wikis, blogs, VoiceThread, and/or Webspiration.
