Activity 9: Group Roles in a Project

Though this activity cost me a lot of time, I find the idea of group roles to be very good as it pins learners down to exactly what is expected of them. It keeps members of the group from writing irrelevant information. Learners are better able to grapple with the information when they put themselves into the roles of the projects. Learning is more enjoyable and effective when these are real life roles. The members of the group will be bringing different perspectives to the group so group members can learn from each other.
Because each member of the group has a specific role to play it ensures that all are actively involved in the group process and all has a role to play in the success of the results.
