Improving student team effectiveness in collaborative projects in the university classroom

Team-based activities are central to many educational environments as a way to foster collaborative learning. Despite the benefits offered, many instructors shy away from using team-based activities in the classroom due to a lack of support in forming well-balanced teams, managing and monitoring team and individual productivity, and resolving conflicts. This project brings together two parties who have independently worked on educational technologies that support team-based learning. The goal of this project is to enhance a team project management tool built by a Vancouver-based company called Ensightful with team management and analytic features that are grounded in scientific research.
