Synopsis 

Within higher education, group work has been widely used as a teaching and learning strategy. When planned and managed well, group work can benefit learners with high quality learning outcomes and satisfaction. This intermediate level workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills for effective Group-Based Assessment (GBA). It is divided into three main parts. The first discusses the purpose of GBA and strategies that can be used to ensure that group work is well planned and managed. The second focuses on the methods of assessing group work, its assessment criteria and scoring methods. The final section provides ways for evaluating the quality of GBA.
