Brown Bag | Trial and Error: Evolving Methods for Online Group Work
Online group work in asynchronous classes is a challenge for instructors and students. Navigating new technology and technology issues can add to that challenge. In attempts to proactively address many of the online group work challenges, Dr. Sally C. Harris, Distinguished Lecturer and Director of Certificates and Online Programming in the English Department, regularly changes one or two elements of asynchronous group work each semester to find the most effective approaches. Join her on 25 April 2025 from 12 pm to 1 pm ET as she discusses what has worked, what hasn’t worked, and what happened with the new approach she tried this semester.
