After discussing how facilitated study groups worked with Dana and the nature of students in the program I decided not to proceed with faciliatated study sessions with my engineering group. Instead, I chose to create a Wiki for my Engineering Group, where they would have the opportunity to create material and work with the technology. I introduced the Wiki to them. The students were given three questions to discuss and were asked to create a page on the Wiki where they are to provide resources on a technology of their choice to the group. The page they create will then be rated by others in the group. The person or team that is rated highest by others in the class will win a small prize.
The students were happy to discuss the questions introduced on the discussion board and were engaged in the activity I gave them. They spent the rest of the session looking for resources for their topics and learning how to add them to their pages on the Wiki. They appeared to enjoy this session.
