| Problem | In a VCL project, certain tasks are to be mastered by the participants. However, it is often unclear which roles can be used for this. |
|---|---|
| Framework | Assignment of roles, heterogeneous expertise of the participants, learning objective focuses on the promotion of professional competence |
| Solution | The selection and assignment of specific roles to the participants makes sense in terms of effective task management. However, it is important that there is a project manager role in each group so that group coordination and organization can take place. However, the exact roles that a team must have depend on the task at hand. 1. Disciplicating roles: These are roles of specific disciplines (e.g. didactician, IT expert, marketing expert), which can be used especially when students from different courses of study participate. 2. Task-controlled roles: These roles focus on certain activities within the project work, which on the one hand guarantee a high-quality content and on the other hand enable a clear documentation of the work results (e.g. editor, researcher, critic). These roles can be used for participants of the same field of study as well as different disciplines. |
