What it does
A group task that stops one student doing everything while others watch. Tell it where group work goes wrong in your class and you get a task with set roles and AI prompts that spread participation. The design starts with the specific problem, such as quiet members, dominant voices or free riders. It assigns rotating roles, adds AI prompts that nudge members to contribute, and builds checkpoints where the group must show progress. Prompts can also ask follow-up questions that deepen the talk. The evidence base is rated moderate, and the skill says so. It is made for teachers, tutors and course leads.
