Learning Feedback During the Term and Team Work

I'm at the Innovation2008 Conference in Breckenridge. This morning I attended Ana Paula Correia's presentation based on her recent article in Innovate Journal Online: http://innovateonline.info/index.php?view=article&id=495&action=synopsis

By establishing an account, you can read all articles in this online journal.

This was a most enjoyable presentation because it was a real, in-the-trenches account of how the faculty built real-life projects and team projects into the course.

Here are two highlights I'd like to share:

Her remark about giving ongoing dialogue with on how things are going during the term: "There's nothing I can do for those students if I only look at the end-of-term evaluation."

This question from the audience: "How do you make a team and not just a group?"

Ana did have a few readings she gave the class members about team-based projects. She has generously offered to share sources if I email her.
