In Olivia’s teacher education course, online students create
lesson plans that incorporate a unifying theme across
different subject areas.
Olivia divides her students into groups, each with a
designated country as the theme.

BEST PRACTICE
Selecting Group Members
Size: Try creating groups with at least four members.
Manually assign members: Assign members to groups to ensure
heterogeneity or diversity.
Randomly assign members: May work best for instructors who
teach courses containing many students—without the opportunity to
know them individually.
Self-enrollment: Allows students to add themselves to a group
using a sign-up sheet.
