Tips for sharing ideas in the groups
For exchange in the working groups, a forum is available to your group in each module. What you discuss there is only visible to your group (and of course to the tutors), in contrast to the main discussion forum, where contributions are visible to all course participants.

Our tips:

• It is best to work together in the forum of the respective module to keep track of everything!
• To start: The warm-up phase serves to get used to virtual group work. So work on the warm-up task together in the group to find your way into the group. The best thing to do here is to simply take the initiative and introduce yourself to the others in the group.
• In general, use the group forum for discussion and creation of task solutions. Constructive discussions on content have proven themselves to work well in the forum.
• Most group tasks are easy to divide. Coordinating this is the task of the moderator (see: Warm up task). It is important to determine what you should do what by when. Here is an exemplary procedure: The moderator divides the group: Subtask A is worked on by group A until Tuesday, subtask B is also worked on by group B until Tuesday, everyone discusses the partial solutions until Thursday, the moderator puts everything together and puts the entire group solution in the solution forum on Friday. But don't
  forget: Discuss the solutions! A "You did a great job" is not a discussion.
