titleAssign online individual, paired or group work

Ideas for individual or group work:

  • Ask students to complete a Moodle quiz after viewing your pre-recorded lecture or completing assigned readings.
  • Ask students to work on problems, projects, or drafts online. They can do so either individually, in pairs, or groups.
    • After they submit their work, ask students to discuss it together.
    • Students may do their work asynchronously, but are required to submit their assignments by a specific date and time. 

Best practices for online paired or group work:

  • Use part, or all, of an assignment your students are already working on in class.
  • Assign groups of students to do different readings and then facilitate asynchronous online discussions of the texts together.
  • Use the Moodle workshop activity for students to submit rough drafts, and give each other feedback on drafts, as per a protocol you post on Moodle.
