Strategies for online and hybrid team project success

Team-based assignments are valuable opportunities for professional skill development, but they are a challenge to implement. Ensuring equitable work distribution, assessing team process in addition to product, and ensuring students learn about how to structure effective teams (and not just learn that they don’t like them) are key to team project success; however, these become increasingly difficult to achieve when a significant portion of team communication and collaboration is taking place online and outside the supervised classroom environment.

In this interactive workshop, we will share our expertise in team-based project design and assessment from our years of experience designing and running team-based projects in-person and online. We will work with participants to identify and address common obstacles to effective team project design, share tools to support hybrid teaming, help improve course and project administration and reduce instructional overhead, and enable participants to create better environments for team success.”
