Planning the Project - Student Guide to Group Work

This video forms part of an eLearning Module, The Student Guide to Group Work (https://learningcommons.yorku.ca/groupwork/) created by the Learning Commons at York University in Fall 2020. The Learning Commons unites learning and academic support units on campus to bolster student success. This guide sets out to help students understand the key benefits of effective group work and introduces them to the fundamentals of a successful group work process. This video is one of four, and provides tips for effective group project planning to help groups stay on track and meet deadlines. This includes identifying and negotiating roles, learning about tools and approaches that can help groups plan effectively, as well as highlighting resources to help groups with key academic skills, like research and writing, which are commonly integral to the group project planning process.
