Group collaborative reflection In our quick group collaboration we landed on a few ideas. We thought that task design is central to the success of the collaboration. It is not enough to say 'go collaborate' (particularly if the group is new to the concept, and used to individualised learning.). We think that the teacher needs to think about what they'd like the outcome to be. Is it to explore a concept initially? Is it to interrogate a problem or idea in depth? Is it to build trust social bonds in the class? In each circumstance the design should look a little different. Group size is also something to consider. We found that we ended up forming smaller groups within our group of 5. Perhaps 3 is the optimum, in terms of involving all in production. I think that if the goal is add depth to the learning, the task design will need to include think time for the group - possibly even taking time as individuals to make sense of the idea, skill etc before working
