Group workis essential in Higher Education
Problems with Group Work in Higher Education• Anxiety from high-performing students

• Free-riding/ social loafing
• Poor development of transferrable interpersonal skills
• Little diversity
• Unfair distribution of teams
• Limited inter-group networking
• Academic under-performance
• Failing Groups
1. Lack of Interpersonal skills Students often lack the skills to effectively work with each other (they have not received training in collaboration skills)
2. Lack of Process/ ManagementStudent groups typically have no assigned manager/leader. They lack processes and support to become effective.
3. Moral HazardIf all group members automatically receive the same grade, students are discouraged to contribute strongly.

1. Address individual skills gap

• A feedback report improves students’ understanding of how to be a constructive team member, and how to practically contribute to the success of the team
• Can be completed in advance of the class by students in their own time
• To ensure a smooth group process, groups can take advantage of Team Reports
• Team Reports predict group strengths and weaknesses by aggregating data from individual group members in an anonymous way
• They help student groups to get off to a smooth start, build trust & teach team work & leadership skills in a structured, time effective way
• Students can get a team report for their group online by themselves, or from the tutor.
• Easy to use, works across (mobile) devices

Team-Mark In Development
• Peer Assessment enables students to feedback on each other’s contributions.
• The result is an adjustment factor that can be used to adjust the group mark for individual performance, making group work a lot fairer
• Team-Match also allows students to build up a track record of team projects and positive ratings online. This includes an optional public facing page that shows achievement/recommendations in group work
3. Encouraging participation
