Group assessment

Most group assessment tasks can be carried out online. You can encourage your students to use the collaborative tools in Office 365 and Minerva to work together to prepare group submissions even when working remotely. See the guidance on communicating with students online for detailed information on use of these tools.

Assessment formats that work with individual students, including written coursework, presentations and performance, can also work with groups, and in these cases the tools recommended for online assessment are the same. You can also use tools for discussion and collaboration to assess group discussion online. Please see the links below for further guidance.
