Experiences with online group work among master's students in health sciences: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Group work is commonly used in health science education to foster active learning and developing teamwork skills. Following the online transition in higher education, group work is increasingly conducted online. Although, group work offers online students a valuable arena to interact with and learn from fellow students, research indicates challenges for successful online collaboration. Few studies have focused on facilitators and barriers to online group work as their primary objective, and even fewer within health sciences providing in-depth knowledge of the students' perspective. Therefore, we aimed to explore health science master's students' experiences of facilitators and barriers to online group work.

Methods

We conducted individual interviews with master's
