Description

This course explores how people operate as members and leaders of learning groups and the conditions, which make for effective group work in both education and the work place. The emphasis is on experiential learning, observation of group process, improving skills in facilitating group learning and designing appropriate learning activities. To complete the two assignments you need to observe and analyse group dynamics in a learning group and then to plan and lead a small group learning session. However these activities need not take place in a formal educational setting - you are welcome to use professional development activities, patient education groups or other kinds of community learning groups as the basis of the assignments.
