Equal distribution of tasks within the group

Problem It can be a problem in group work if the tasks/ workload are not distributed equally among the roles. This can lead to dissatisfaction for all group members.
Framework - Distribution of tasks / Group work in the teams
Solution In order to overcome this problem the following steps could be followed:
- Assign tasks fairly in the teams and check the distribution by E-Tutors
- Assess the student´s expertise before assigning the tasks to explore individual strengths and weaknesses
- Assign team roles based on their expertise –> Internal group process is in conflict with this!
- Focus on this problem during the creation of the group contract and formulate is as requirement for the group contract
