title = "Authentic Learning for Groupwork Skills: A Comparison Between a Physical and a Virtual Experience",
abstract = "Development of teamwork skills is a stated goal of many group assignments in university settings. However, the challenges associated with the effective design of assignments to achieve this goal have been well-documented. Students regularly circumvent the process by dividing the work and completing it separately. The difficulties inherent in a normal academic environment have been compounded by the restrictions and difficulties placed on lecturers and students during a global pandemic. This paper discusses the use of an authentic learning approach in {\textquoteleft}normal{\textquoteright} times and an authentic learning approach adapted to a virtual environment during Covid-19 and whether they impact on the development of teamwork skills in a post-graduate user experience design (UXD) module. Using the Groupwork Skills Questionnaire (GSQ), analysis shows the {\textquoteleft}live{\textquoteright} version of the learning experience resulted in improved task-based teamwork skills while the virtual event had no impact.",
