Summary
Team projects can build real-world collaboration skills and deepen learning, but also bring added complexity and challenge. In this HILT 2022 Conference session, Harvard instructors shared their practices and strategies for engaging this complexity, sharing how they teach students to be effective in teams and how they use teams to deepen students’ learning. How can we create the best environment for students to learn collaboratively in teams? What structures, processes and other approaches can instructors use to launch and sustain student team project work? What skills do students need to learn to be effective in teams?
