Assessed Group-Work: A Framework and Guidelines

This document has been developed to provide a framework for programme teams and lecturers to consider the role and place of group-work in their programmes and teaching and to plan and manage it in a way that enhances learning and promotes a positive learning and teaching experience. Group-work in this context refers to two or more students working together as part of a formal assessment. This might be face-to-face, online or in a blended context. However, some of the principles can also be applied to other forms of student group work, including that which is more informal.
