This workshop presents several ideas from a small group communication class on structuring group work. Ideas included having a "norming agreement" between the students, being clear with the students about why you are doing group work and allowing for self and peer evaluations.
There were a lot of good ideas, but I could see that several of them would take a lot of time. Since I could see how essential some of the activities were, it is clear that one should not launch into group work activities without being willing to commit to the time needed for groups to form properly.
I asked the presenters for ideas around groups online and, unfortunately, but non surprisingly, they had no suggestions.
