Effective Group Work module

The most common problems in group work are a lack of structure and a lack of cooperation between group members. To help you address these problems and succeed in your next group work project we have created this dedicated e-module module which provides practical tips and downloadable tools to help you get off to the right start, manage the work and communicate effectively as a group.

The Effective Group Work module should take 30-45 minutes to complete and you can return to any part of the module anytime you like.
