It’s time for the November tip! This month we will introduce you to the new completion type Team – we'll provide you with a guide how to add it and some examples how you can use it in your programs.
The completion type Team
With this completion type you can boost the social learning in your program by dividing the learners into teams allowing them to collaborate, share ideas and/or give advice within the team’s private chat – based on the discussion they post the team conclusion and share it with the rest of the cohort. Here are some examples of how you can use Team tasks in your program:
Report
When your learners should solve an assignment together and report their conclusion Team task is the completion type to choose. The team can discuss in the private chat and when they are satisfied one of them upload the team conclusion and all members will be marked as complete. Remember that they can upload files in both the private chat and in their final conclusion.
Preparations
Let the learners prepare for the training/webinar/workshop together, for example a group presentation for delivery at the training. In this case the teams could post the subject of their presentation to the rest of the cohort before the training.
Coaching
After or during the phase where the learners should apply the tools or methods they have learnt, it is valuable to share experiences and get input/feedback from others making the same journey. A team can be of two learners and in this way you could have a more structured peer review. In the team task you can ask them to share successes or challenges and give each other advice that might help in the future.
Research
Make the learners build their knowledge foundation together by giving them a topic to make research about. Ask them to post the result of the research in the team conclusion.
