5. Assessment of
collaboration and
individual grades?
Pedagogical decisions and script for your course
 0-5 based on the criteria presented earlier
Technological decisions and script for your course, course
environment
 0-5 based on the criteria that Jari will present this afternoon
 The average (0-5) is the grade that your team gets from the
products.
• Should we evaluate the collaborative process
within the teams? How?
• How will we define the individual grades (0-5)
based on the team grade?

7. Roles within your team
Decide, who will be the ”leader” that will make sure that your work is
proceeding according to the instructions and timing…
Decide, who will be the one, who writes things down…

committed to the teamwork!

12. Step 5: generate and prioritize learning objectives,
divide research workload
• When you now know, what you know and what you
don’t now, it’s time to set a goal for your learning:
Write down a question you want answer to or learning
goal you want to achieve
You have 15 minutes for this step

13. Step 6: private study time to research objectives
Search for answers to your questions individually
• To find information you can use:
– Traditional and electronig books and journals from the library (utilize
the library access and library staff)
– Articles you have previously read for your studies, slideshows or
notes from previous lectures
– Different internet sources: google, wikipedia, google scholar,
slideshare etc.
– Any expert anywhere that you can get in contact with
• You should organize or write down the information in a way that
you can quite clearly present your findings to your team
• You will discuss about what you have found and learned in the
next meeting (April 4th) and will then create 20 minutes
presentation based on your team’s shared understanding (with
references)
