Groupware Support for Student Project Teams: Issues in Implementation

Group projects form an important part of learning in a university environment. In this paper we discuss the types of activities involved in student group projects and present a context of use of groupware support for project teams (a behavioural simulation of an organisation- the simulation is played by computing students). In the paper we then describe the software that has been designed to support group work, an implementation procedure, an evaluation procedure and expected learning outcomes
