Any examples of tools and/or pedagogies would be appreciated.

Very often, group discussions become a division of labour when each member focuses on one question/aspect/feedback or even when told to focus on one thing, it is a combination of all their individual thoughts rather than a synthesis of their thoughts after discussion and debate. ]]> 2022-02-18 12:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/75o6suhkz3rrindt/wish/2055118552 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/75o6suhkz3rrindt/wish/2056259576 It is challenging when one member in the group has special needs, for instance, ASD or ADHD. Some of these students, due to their conditions, may exhibit traits like selective mutism, hence getting them to communicate with their group members might not be easy.

Yet, these are relevant and important skills which affect group dynamics, quality of work and future workplace etiquette.

As different group members work at different pace and style, it is difficult to make everyone understand. The lack of communication in the group can also be a contributing factor.  Some might also view feedback as being personal and hence affecting the group's morale.

There are also free riders who can do OP well but contributed nothing to the group and get better grades as the PW assessment rubrics is flawed. This sets a very bad example of collaboration.

This creates an obstacle for collaborative learning to take place when the low-needs (higher ability) students merely take over the tasks in a rush to meet deadlines.

Students often leave it to the tutor or group leader / vocal person in the group to make sense of the information and set direction for the next step ahead. They also get caught up in conflict with regard to things like writing style / organisation / quality of research, some of which takes quite a bit of negotiation and is difficult to accomplish online.]]> 2022-02-23 05:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/75o6suhkz3rrindt/wish/2061967339 lee_qiao_le https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/75o6suhkz3rrindt/wish/2061976193 balancing between letting the group form bonds naturally and also navigate through the challenges on their own, vs us stepping in as teachers when we sense that they are not working together as we had envisioned.
