Teaching Team skills

In summary:
Here you can find files (in both Word and PDF formats) for the tutorials that I run on team training spread out over semester to ensure our students learn team skills. These training exercises were meant to facilitate their semester-long documentary assignment where students were asked to make a 10-15 minute documentary video about one of the the themes in the module Plants and the Soil Environment in groups of 4. As the students came from two campuses I had them using Microsoft Teams from the beginning of 2020 and together with the team training activities the module proved very resilient to floods, strikes and the COVID-19 lockdown. 
The student notes below were copied into each group's Microsoft Teams Class Notebook collaboration space for the students to discuss and comment, and were uploaded as a PDF in 'Files'. 

​My earlier Blog post which explored this semester's class as it happened can be read here.
