This is a template that you can use for your group if you want to:

PBL group collaborative learning agreement

Participating:

During this “Connecting” week when forming as a group it is important to discuss and decide on “ground rules” for your group work.

Ground rules could be about how and where to communicate, level of visibility, engagement, and responsibility in the collaborative work, how to work with peer support and feedback etc.

Agreements for asynchronous and synchronous collaboration in the group:

Examples:
Make mistakes
Respect each other’s contributions
Ask questions to get clarity
Have Fun!!!
Being kind to the contributions of others.
Should accept we all have a different situation or change in the course.
Dynamics can change.
Giving credit to others (through back-channel or PBL group board comment?)
be reliable and stick to agreements whenever possible
we inform the other group members, if we are not able to make it to a meeting
