Abstract

The paper introduces a logic model of online collaborative group work for adult learners. This logic model was developed through a literature review in the context of a multi-year educational design research study aimed at optimizing the online group work experience of adult learners. The model is intended to guide online instructors at post-secondary levels who aspire to develop and teach online courses using collaborative group work and authentic complex learning tasks as primary pedagogies. The paper describes each component of the model such as the goals of collaborative group work, attributes of different groups, and various factors influencing effective group work.
