Developing Impactful Learning Teams

Being able to work in teams is essential for engineers, especially in the current state of the world with increasingly complex world.  However, team working skills is not a natural in-born skill – grouping students together in small groups often result in dysfunctional teams with various problems leading to negative learning experiences.  Students need to learn and be guided in developing teamworking skills – but do educators know how to guide them?  In this interactive webinar, we will look at key aspects of designing a learning environment that can guide students to learn and work in a team effectively based on the principles of Cooperative Learning (CL) in a typical classroom.  Examples on infusing CL principles for implementation in engineering courses will also be discussed during the webinar.
