In December 2020, VU academic staff were surveyed and asked about the benefits and challenges of groupwork assessment tasks. A couple of aspects stood out in the responses: groupwork assessment tasks were perceived simultaneously as great and awful and the benefits of groupwork assessment tasks were often outweighed by challenges.
To improve our groupwork assessment practices, we have searched the literature, reviewed the 2020 survey findings, and drawn on our collective experience in the scholarship of teaching and learning to source and create the material presented on this page: Groupwork approaches.
