Activities, assignments and assessment/Accountability in team assignments



Dianne Williamson and Maureen Long, presenting to AAAOpenConf2013

Team-based activities are increasingly used for both learning and assessment – but how does the examiner know whether individual students have actively participated and ‘earned’ the team mark? This presentation will discuss some of the assessment issues faced in a first year health science subject, and the ‘Team Journal’ which has been developed to record the contributions of individual team members. The Team Journal is also used to capture evidence of student achievement of cornerstone graduate capabilities in the areas of teamwork and problem solving.
