4. Adapting Group Tasks for

Accessibility

Designing tasks that are accessible to all
students is critical:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
Incorporate multiple means of representation,
expression, and engagement in group
activities.
Flexible Formats: Allow students to choose
how they contribute (e.g., written reports, oral
presentations, multimedia projects).
Assistive Technologies: Use tools like
screen readers, speech-to-text software, or
adjustable workspaces for students with
disabilities.

Example: In a storytelling activity, each student
contributes by drawing from their unique
background to shape the narrative. A student
with strong linguistic skills might craft the
dialogue, another with artistic talent could
illustrate the story, while a student with a vivid
imagination might develop the plotline. This
approach ensures every member's voice is
integral to the final creation.

5. Promoting Positive

Interdependence

Positive interdependence fosters collaboration
by ensuring that every group member’s
contribution is integral to the group’s success:
Role Interdependence: Assign
complementary roles (e.g., researcher,
recorder, presenter) to highlight individual
strengths.
Resource Interdependence: Provide shared

materials or information that require
collaboration.
Goal Interdependence: Set clear, shared
objectives that motivate cooperative effort.
