Making groupwork work – LearnHigher
Working with the Universities of Leeds, Bradford and Brunel, Webducate provided technical advice and development in this LearnHigher funded project to create an ambitious and extensive set of resources covering the complex issues involved in group working.
At its core this project involved the creation of a set of ten videoed episodes following a group of students through the process of tackling a group assignment. Each episode focusing a different aspect of group behaviour (such as conflict) and exploring approaches that can be taken to deal with such situations.
These videos were then delivered via an interactive flash player developed by Webducate which provides access to supporting learning activities and additional commentaries, video diaries, academic perspectives etc. The completed project is publicised in a supporting website which provides additional information for students and teachers using the materials.
Webducate has worked with me on a number of e-development projects including the Making group-work work project. Most of our communication is via email and they are highly skilled at interpreting requirements from minimal specifications. I am continually impressed by their professionalism, technical skills and their ability to promptly respond to requests (even when stuck in a snow drift in the Alps!).
