Roles in the working group

The working group list proposes a distribution of roles. This basiscally aims to help you in the collaborative process. However, the roles are not fixed and you may agree within your group on changing them in case there are good reasons for this.

The roles are as follows:

    • Coordinator: The coordinator organises the group communication and arranges additional meetings (i.e. Skype or similar) during which group discussions can take place. He/she also needs to have the deadlines in mind and remind the other group members about these.
    • Manage Assignment 2: this person needs to take care that the concept map of the lecture is made. He/she may propose a draft to which to others can comment. Each group will prepare only one lecture concept map. You find the date of 'your' lecture in the group list.
    • Rapporteur: takes minutes of working group meetings and documents aggreements made as well as working steps.
    • Presenter: presents final assignment

---> The initial group distribution list will include a proposal for role distribution. However, you can agree internally on a different role distribution if needed.

What are the next steps now?

  • Assignment 3 has now started, so you are asked to document an 'image of nature' from your personal context until 1st of December.
  • This process should be accompanied by communication within your group. Please document stepwise so that your group members get at chance to learn from your case.
  • Important: The group list gives you an ID (A,B or C). This relates to your working group page - there you can find a link to the template of your case. Please use this template for documenting your case.
  • Green infrastructure can be found everywhere in your environment, it could be in your neighbourhood or be a part of the wider urban/rural landscape of your location. It can also be a problematic case. It is important that you have a personal interest in this case.
  • you may arrange an online meeting with your group members soon, so you can get to know each other better.
