Study Group Registration
This is a tool you can use to form study groups. This area is a templated part of your AGSM Moodle course site and is not monitored by your facilitator. It is a self-service item where you can register into a group and then see the email contact addresses of your other study group members. There is also an associated forum in the General Resources section where you can post to communicate and form study groups.
This is an entirely self directed activity and while study groups can be quite helpful, you will only get out of them as much as you put in. Too many members can make a study group unwieldy or turn it into a whole class chat if everyone were to join, so we have limited membership to no more than 7 per study group.
Note: When you create or join a group, this does NOT trigger any notifications in Moodle. If you are joining an existing study group, you will need to email all of the other members of your new study group to let them know.
If all of the study groups are full or you have any issue with this tool, you can contact AGSM's Educational Development team at elearning@agsm.edu.au for support.
We suggest a few action to effectively organise your study group:
- Have someone in your study group take the lead to organise and create the study group in this tool.
- If no one has done this yet, consider doing it yourself
- It is a light workload to lead a study group and the key actions will be to welcome new members and set up a schedule for study group meetings.
- We have found setting up a study sessions once a week is productive (even if not everyone can join every week), along with an ongoing chat or messaging tool.
- If no one has done this yet, consider doing it yourself
- Initially organise by email after creating or joining your study group.
- Select a tool to use as a group - this can be as simple as a regular group Zoom call, organising a Whatsapp chat, or setting up a MS Teams area for your study group. Though any tool of your choice can work, we recommend keeping it simple and using tools everyone is likely to be familiar with.
