Team machine

(Swinburne University Online, 2024)

Teamwork, makes the dream work!

This innovative project was born from a collaboration between myself and the ICT online delivery and teaching team at Swinburne University, who identified a common challenge faced by online students: navigating group work assessments. To address this issue, we developed The Team Machine, an interactive resource designed to enhance team management skills essential for both the unit of study and future workplace success. The interactive houses a series of engaging resources and practical activities, to empower students to work effectively in teams, fostering collaboration and communication. The impact of The Team Machine was significant, as students reported a higher statisfaction with their groups, resulting in a notable decrease in support requests related to team conflicts and an overall increase in assessment quality, demonstrating its effectiveness in equipping students with the skills they need to thrive.
