Abstract

This video forms part of an eLearning Module, The Student Guide to Group Work (https://learningcommons.yorku.ca/groupwork/) created by the Learning Commons at York University in Fall 2020. The Learning Commons unites learning and academic support units on campus to bolster student success. This guide sets out to help students understand the key benefits of effective group work and introduces them to the fundamentals of a successful group work process. This video is one of four, and explores why effective communication is key to group success and shares communication strategies and techniques to foster constructive, respectful communication in general and specific contexts like group meetings or dealing with difficult conversations.
