Working on Team Projects and Activities

Working on Team Projects and Activities

In some courses, you might be assigned activities or projects that require working in small groups, or teams. Course staff will create topics that you can choose from. You choose a topic that interests you, and join or form a team with other learners who have the same interest to work on the group activity or project together. You can join only one team in your course. 
If your course includes teams, your instructor or course staff will provide information about how you should work in teams, guidelines for joining and creating teams, and using discussions within teams.
