Hi William! Thanks so much for your honest comments! Though group work may not be appropriate for every assignment, having students each contribute to a result, held responsible for a portion of the task at hand, and potentially providing feedback to others in the group regarding their work, all combine to affect an important workpalce skill - even in work environments where individual tasks and responsibilities are paramount. Best wishes for introducing some group activities! Please feel free to visit some other posts in the forums that highlight ways to encourage group effectiveness. Thanks again, Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
