The best material I have seen on the management of group projects and teaching students how to work within groups (as well as teaching profs how to design them properly) is coming out of work being done in technical communication and project management. I suggest you look at some recent texts in technical communication as well as some of the work on collaboration--Ede and Lunsford's work, for example. Amanda Goldrick-Jones and I are putting some of this material together for a project we are working on. Once we have the material together I'll send you some specific references. BUT remind me in a month or so or I will forget. From: Jamie Mac Kinnon <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Group or collaborative writing To: Multiple recipients of list CASLL <[log in to unmask]> Paul V. Anderson provides some useful advice on collaborative writing in parts of Technical Writing: A Reader-Centred Approach.
