The value of group work for enhancing learning is well documented. However, to maximize the impact of group work on student learning, faculty should carefully consider course design and assessment. This chapter draws on research, policy, and practice from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to emphasize the importance of adopting an integrated approach to group work through careful planning. Guidelines emphasize ways to provide for the responsive, responsible assessment of group projects.
