Using Collaborative Teams In and Out of Class
Magna, Jan 2008, Minutes: 60
60-Minute computer file containing audio with synchronized PowerPoint and downloadable handouts - Originally broadcast January 30, 2008
Research tells us that learners benefit when they collaborate in teams. This teamwork helps develop learners’ critical thinking skills, increases their persistence, and improves their understanding of diversity.
Yet students consistently rate collaborative teamwork negatively. Students accustomed to being given the “right answers” in lectures are often impatient with the collaborative process. To make matters worse, many instructors do not offer adequate guidance on how to work together productively.
This seminar will examine barriers that prevent the successful use of collaborative teams in and out of the classroom and suggest methods for avoiding these pitfalls. In just 60 minutes, it will show you how to incorporate assessment and manage your teams while promoting shared responsibility for learning. The methods will work in both large and small classes.

- Avoid the pitfalls of collaborative team learning
- Encourage all team members to take responsibility for teamwork
- Incorporate self-reflection and assessment into the teaming process
- Use different methods to put your teams together
