Group work can be used as an effective tool to help students learn from each other, build community and engage with the course content. The key to the success of a group is in the planning and understanding of the purpose of the work needed. The Technology Enhanced Collaborative Group Work (TECGW) indicated through their research on group work that the way in which instructors facilitate a group project has a major impact on the success of the group. Many educators incorporate group work in their courses, but they may not provide the necessary support to students working in these groups; consequently, students get discouraged, and may decline working in groups. In the online learning environments, with the elimination of physical presence, it is necessary to bring students simultaneously to collaborate on various activates of the course to enhance their engagement with each other, the content and the instructor. As technology plays a vital role in online environments, instructors need to develop strategies for students could help them in planning, collaborating and communicating, synchronously and asynchronously, effectively within a group. Project management concepts could effectively be utilized to help in facilitating students' group work. This paper, introduces effective strategies that will help instructors in facilitating group work by providing tools that students could utilize to understand and define their roles in the group. Additionally, the paper will introduce practices in creating group work assignments, supporting students in groups and enhancing communication among students in online environments. The paper provides some practices in using Web 2.0 tools that could facilitate the production of group work, and how these tools could facilitate learning among students working together on face-to-face and online courses.

Statistical Results

This study is an analysis of two different marking schemes for an ‘authentic’ Group Project worth 50% of a first year undergraduate university agribusiness course at The University of Queensland (UQ). A number of different marking schemes for the Group Project had been trialled over the last ten years in an effort to obtain an equitable method of marking individual students doing the Group Project. In 2019, a marking scheme for the Group Project that had been successfully used previously was advertised for 2019 prior to the commencement of semester.  However, issues during the semester within some of the Groups meant that students requested a Peer Evaluation marking scheme be employed. Eventually, for a class of 105 students, both marking schemes were used in assessing students’ work and a Pearson Correlation coefficient was run on the results of the final project mark to determine how equivalent the two marking schemes were. A good correlation (0.75) between the two schemes was returned, which was also reflected in a good correlation in the comparison for the final overall mark for the whole course (0.87). These statistical results suggest that there is a good argument for the existing marking scheme to continue to be used rather than a peer evaluation, which can have behavioural issues associated with it that are difficult to resolve.

It Project Success

Investigation into the causes for low IT project success rates has dominated both the IT project management literature and the focus of IT project management professionals for decades. Many factors, including a variety of hard skills and soft skills, have been proposed to have an effect on IT project success. This study presented 142 such factors, collected from the IT project management literature over the past 25 years, to members of the Project Management Institute in an effort to ascertain which of these factors had the most impact on IT project success in their respective organizations. Factors were classified into 5 groups: Communication Group, Project Manager/Team Group, Project Group, Organization Group and User Group. Results indicated that 71.8% of respondents agreed that Ability to Communicate at Multiple Levels from the Project Manager/Team Group was the most important factor critical to IT project success of the 142 factors under consideration.
