Pipiri/June 7: Collaboration as a tool for inclusion

Presenters: Tracey Morgan & Alison Jolley (AJ)

Collaborative activities offer great potential for enhanced student engagement and peer to peer interaction, but these activities can also be challenging and isolating for students. In this workshop, we will look at strategies for facilitating more inclusive group work that will help to provide equitable experiences for our learners.

This workshop will run virtually in Zoom. We will start promptly at 1:00 pm, feel free to join a few minutes before.
