Create an activity for the following given strategies for Blended Learning.
A. Collaborative Work
B. Structure Learning
Activity: Virtual Group Project
Description: In this activity, students will work collaboratively in small groups to complete a structured learning project.
Instructions:
1. Divide the class into small groups (3-5 students per group) and assign each group a specific topic or concept related to the course material.
2. Provide a structured outline or guidelines for the project, including required components, deadlines, and expectations for collaboration.
3. Encourage students to use online collaboration tools such as Google Docs, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams to communicate and work together on the project.
4. Set up regular check-ins or progress meetings for each group to discuss their project and address any challenges or questions.
5. Have each group present their project to the class either through a virtual presentation or written report.
6. Encourage peer feedback and reflection on the collaborative process at the end of the project.
Benefits: This activity allows students to engage in collaborative work while also structuring their learning experience. It promotes teamwork, critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, it provides a hands-on learning opportunity for students to apply the course material in a real-world context.
