Jigsaw
Jigsaw is good for teaching complex concepts that have a number of pieces. For a basic Jigsaw activity, you would separate students into "expert" groups. Each "expert" group is assigned a different piece of the concept to present to the rest of the class. The class first meets to discuss their individual learning needs. Then each group member goes to his or her "expert" group. In the "expert" group, the students work on ways to present their piece of content effectively so that the rest of the class "gets" it. Once their presentation is ready, the "expert" groups teach their concept to the class. You can assess this learning activity through peer review or through a quiz that shows the success of the individual presentations within a group. Jigsaw is a good way to ensure individual responsibility while using collaborative learning. -
Interview
Students are asked to interview an expert in the field of study and draw up a report on it. They can post the report to a bulletin board or chat area, they can turn in hard copy, or they can be guided to collaborate on their findings. The interview can be guided in various ways by the instructor, i.e., preset questions or suggestions can be introduced. The interview can be by phone, e-mail, or face-to-face. (Permission waivers must be completed by the interviewee.)
