The DATA

Met with my supervisor today to discuss the data. It turns out that my tip did not solve the issues of group work....completely. The major concerns that were presented included frustrations in using technology and still student's wanted me to keep all members of the group accountable. I wonder if they recognize or have forgotten that I can view who has done what. I think that science labs present a concern because if one student does not complete a part of the lab on time it makes it difficult for the others to work on their part of the lab. Also, the dynamics of the group changed. They felt that they had lost ownership of their work since other students could go ahead and edit their work. The old mentality of "ask before you change anything" was present. Still some students preferred to physically meet as they appreciated instant feedback.

Wetpaint has added some new changes which have improved the social aspect. Just received a message in my inbox. Might be just what the students are looking for?
