Do you use “teams” or “groups” in your course? What is the difference and why does it matter? Are there ways to develop a single course or course pairings to foster teamwork, rather than group work?  This breakout session will introduce two different modes of Teamwork-intensive courses that are intentionally set up to foster teamwork.  Both modes necessitate students’ dependence on other students to understand and complete a project.  The dependence facilitates the need for communication to share knowledge and ideas which other team members lack. Effective communication can only occur with the successful use of each student's interprofessional skills.

In this breakout session, we will use the Think, Pair, Share strategy.  We will cluster faculty members by interdisciplinary research interests with members from different disciplines. Faculty will identify 1) a possible project and 2) the distinct knowledge students from each faculty member’s course brings that is unknown to the others.
