Group work as assessment
Group work is becoming increasingly popular as a method of assessment as it reflects the demands of the workplace. Here are five useful resources to support you in using group work with your students:
- Getting the most from groupwork assessment (Oxford Brookes University)
- Teaching toolkit: large and small group teaching (University College Dublin)
- Small group teaching (Oxford Brookes University)
- Bobby Elliott (SQA, 2008) provides a useful short report on 'Online collaborative assessment'. In the report Elliott presents a set of 6 useful criteria for assessing online group work. He also provides additional criteria gained from his review of exemplar marking schemes.
