But, I Hate Group Projects!

Why Group Projects?

As long as the instructor provides clear goals, instructions, and structure, group work in online classes centers the learner(s) because they collaborate with each other, take responsibility for their part, and use the highest order of Bloom’s Taxonomy (creation) to make and present a meaningful project together.

Success Stories

Here are some examples of collaborative projects students have made in my asynchronous courses:

• Texas Story Project​

• Narrative Recipe Site​

• Padlet Virtual Artifact Gallery

• Ticketmaster Adverts for the American Revolution
