Abstract

This case study demonstrates how the complexities of group assessment can be approached differently using a ‘teamwork’ philosophy and the incorporation of other tools such as the BuddyCheck peer assessment. By integrating collaborative learning across multiple contexts, in class, outside class, and across the programme in various team configurations, and using structured monitoring tools, students develop genuine teamwork skills rather than simply completing assignments with others. The approach emphasises social learning as an integral part of the educational experience, with BuddyCheck serving as both a monitoring mechanism and a tool for pushing students toward meaningful collaboration.
