The <em>Playbook</em> is for instructors who would assign collaborative writing if they could account for individual contributions to collaboratively written content and use assessment criteria consistent with course learning objectives.</p><p><br></p><p>Instructors can overcome the workload obstacles by identifying five learning objectives that writing and course content have in common: discipline-specific objectives for critical thinking, research, synthesis, genre/structure, and editing/peer review. By aligning writing objectives with course learning objectives, instructors can design writing projects, tasks, and peer review roles that support rather than distract from course content. </p><p><br></p><p>Including collaborative writing throughout a course makes meaningful collaboration much easier to achieve than making collaboration a temporary activity, which can disrupt everyone's productivity. Joe Moses and Jason Tham present ideas for small and large activities that help instructors introduce collaboration at a pace that makes sense for them and sustains meaningful learning throughout a course.</p><p><br></p><p>COLLABORATIVE WRITING PLAYBOOK has several unique features: </p><p><br></p><ul><li>Practical tools for planning and promoting productive teamwork. </li><li>Roles for collaborative writing teammates that complement course-specific learning objectives.</li><li>Structured activities designed specifically to support teammate interdependence and accountability.</li><li>Templates for team charters, team planning, goal setting, and task coordination.</li><li>A versatile, five-part structure-defined by instructors according to their preferences-for designing and evaluating team projects. </li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p><p>"Collaboration is a professional imperative.
