Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In my presentation I concentrate on the hypothesis that group work helps to motivate students. Since my experience stems from an international online-based seminar, I also present two additional findings related to these aspects of group work. Firstly, as the very existence of our seminar proves, the online basis makes group work in an international setting possible by overcoming the physical as well as mental distances. Following that, we, the team of international tutors, teaching this seminar are convinced that group work helps to make the best out of an international setting by fostering close and intensive contacts between students and tutors from different countries. My argument proceeds from a general evaluation of means and ends of group work, followed by an assessment of suitability of this teaching strategy as demonstrated on a specific issue of academic cultures. I then continue with an analysis of our empirical experience of online collaborative learning in the ForPol online seminar, and conclude with an outline of advantages and challenges of online group work.
