This document provides guidance on effective principles and best practices for working in online groups. It outlines four parts: preparation, assignment, technology, and evaluation. For each part, it lists several checklist items to ensure groups are set up for success, such as making sure students understand the value of collaboration, providing clear guidelines and adequate time for assignments, using collaborative workspaces and communication tools, and implementing evaluation strategies to monitor individual involvement and accountability. The document also shares advice from students, such as recommending tools to facilitate out-of-class meetings, having multiple contact methods, reviewing roles, and providing benchmarks and guidance on dealing with difficult group dynamics.

Teacher Leadership Analysis in Action EmilySousa10
Forming leadership groups within a school can help establish norms, set goals, and analyze what in the school could help or hinder efforts. “Fostering a sustainable learning community depends in part on the leaders’ ability to create conditions in which teachers learn to recognize and challenge the usefulness of their existing beliefs and practices in order to improve their student’s education” (Cherkowski, 2012, p. 59). This leadership action plan shows how my leadership team selected a leadership initiative and a collaborative leadership framework for facilitating our work. We laid the groundwork to successfully achieve the leadership initiative, to provide leveled math support/intervention/enrichment to assess if more students are making progress and are appropriately challenged. This analysis allowed our community of practice team to ensure students at various levels are being challenged appropriately, improve student achievement through differentiated instruction, evaluate if work stations can help students become independent/collaborative learners, and create assessments that will monitor progress and help determine where support is needed.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
10. ADVICE from the Experts…Faculty Focus Magazine And some of our students of course
11. Online group work checklistPart 1: Preparation Students understand the value of both the process and product of the collaboration. Students have guidance concerning how to work in an asynchronous team. Group size is small enough to allow for full participation of all members. Course provides numerous opportunities for community building prior to group projects.
12. Online group work checklist:Part 2: Assignment Assignment is an authentic measure of student learning. Assignment will benefit from collaborative work. Students have clear guidelines of the expected outcome of the collaborative assignment. Assignment creates a structure of positive interdependence in which individuals perceive thatthey will succeed when the group succeeds. Assignment is scheduled to allow adequate time for preparation and communication. Assignment is designed in a manner to allow students a level of personal control.
13. Online group work checklist: Part 3: Technology Students are provided with tools and instructions to facilitate online communication. Each group has a collaborative workspace within the online course. Students have technology skills relevant for asynchronous communication. Back-up procedures are in place to deal with technology failure.
14. Online group work checklist:Part 4: Evaluation Grading and/or evaluation strategies differentiate between the process and the product. Strategies are in place to monitor interaction processes. Clear grading rubrics are provided at the start of the assignment to guide student work. Self and peer evaluations are included in the process to monitor individual involvement andaccountability.
21. Remind us that the other person isn’t always the problem. ~jamaal
22. Give us guidance on how to deal with “difficult member roles”.~Anonymous
23. Can we have some benchmarks please? Don’t just throw is to the sharks! ~Maria
24. Make certain we have enough time to get to know each other and complete the project!~Jon

Editor's Notes
One great way to transition between ideas is to ask a question to get your audience involved. So here you could ask WHY students might be taught to work effectively in groups.
Talk about when they will work in groups in their industry…like FASHION Maybe even ask them when they think students will need these skillsPicture: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/04/09/2212604.htm
Talk about when they will work in groups in their industry…like ANIMATIONPicture: http://pixarblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/animated-feature-symposium-photos.html
Talk about when they will work in groups in their industry…like CULINARYPicture: http://www.chef2chef.net/culinary-institute/the-art-institutes/atlanta-ga.html
Groups don’t always work…so next we can examine when is the best time to use them
Group work is pointless when it is something that everyone can “Google” and figure out in minutes. But if there are a variety of factors to consider, roles to play and solutions that could work, then group work is ideal!
We are social creatures AND many of us tend to learn better when we debate, discuss, or help others understand concepts. No need for FULL QUARTER group assignments to get group work benefits. Get them helping each other on understanding a project or concept. Then have them individually take a quiz or complete an assignment. If a group does well (you set the benchmark) as individuals, give them a small reward. Isn’t that what happens in real life? Only the reward might be a bonus, a contract or other big fish. Here it can be getting out of class a few minutes early or a few bonus points!
Think of any team…a kitchen crew, a surgery team or a sports team (choose your favorite). What do they have in common? One person can not effectively play all roles. Same for a college class team. Consider an assignment where there are several roles or skills students should possess. For example, most groups involve people who research, play devil’s advocate effectively, understand technology, are creative, and even have other skills like a strong understanding of legal or financial repercussions of ideas.
Finally, some advice from experts and students alike on working effectively in groups.
