Abstract
Participation in group work is a challenge for all students particularly those with:
Mental health issues or Autism Spectrum Disorder where social interaction, or organization of tasks may be challenging;
Specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyspraxia where reading, typing into forum discussions and organization can be a barrier;
Visual impairments where the format may be problematic;
Hearing impairments if real time discussion is required;
and many others.
The following recommendations about supporting inclusive groupwork are taken from the outputs of the Open University's IncSTEM project.
This guidance builds on an earlier microCPD input: Making the most of Groupwork.
