Resources on Facilitation, Group Activities, and Study Skills

Being a great facilitator requires that you not only have an understanding of the course material and an awareness of what is happening when in the course, but that you also have a number of tools and techniques for helping your group to work together. The following links provide information on collaborative learning, group activities and other useful resources for Study Group Facilitators.

Contact the SLC Study Group staff (slcstudygroups@umich.edu) if you have other resources or ideas for how to make this page more helpful to Study Group Facilitators.
