In online learning, there are essentially three types of interaction, as illustrated here. All three are critical to student success. What are your thoughts on this model? Many online courses may be heavy on one or two, but not so often all three. What would you say is the interaction that is most often missing? Research has shown that the interaction between the instructor and the student is critical to retaining students in the online course (what is your retention rate for DL?). But one of the most important factors in student success is the interaction among students. This cannot be haphazard - “build the topic and they will discuss” - does that really happen? Interaction should be carefully designed and well-structured. An additional advantage! -- collaboration can reduce YOUR workload for grading!
Students gain confidence in realizing other team members are able to solve problems, which helps them realize they can also solve problems. Students are able to better accept criticism since they themselves are allowed to criticize. On social level, students’ level of tolerance and acceptance of other people’s viewpoints is increased.
Member contributions are unequal. It takes too much time from content. Students don’t think it’s relevant. Students don’t want too much of it.
Take a “getting to know you” survey during the first week of class. In this survey, obtain the student’s external email address and phone number that he/she can be reached. Assign the roles from the beginning. You can also exchange

The most important fact to consider when you are preparing group work activities, is to avoid replicating the lecture format. The online classroom is completely different from the lecture format. Because verbal and nonverbal communication are non-existent, you will want to remember to guide and facilitate all aspects of the group work in each stage. I often meet with instructors who are ready to create an online course and they approach the design process as if they simply need to upload documents and adjust the instructions. I recommend that you think about the tool capabilities and how you can adjust assignments to work well with the tools. Talk about MKTG example. . .
