Leader Selection Content

Leader selection authoring

When you configure a Leader Selection activity, you are primarily defining what students see and how clearly the role of the leader is communicated.

• Title: Use a clear and action-oriented title (e.g. “Select a team leader”, “Choose your team representative”). This helps students immediately understand what is expected when they reach the activity
• Instructions:

  This is the main guidance area where you explain:

  • What students need to do (e.g. select a leader)
  • What the leader’s responsibilities are
  • How the team should approach the decision

Tips on the educational value of Leader Selection

• Be explicit about the leader’s responsibilities, this sets expectations and avoids confusion
• Encourage teams to rotate leadership roles across sessions to give all students the opportunity to develop these skills
• Design activities where the leader must synthesise input from all team members, not work in isolation
• Use Leader Selection alongside reflective tasks so students can evaluate team dynamics and leadership effectiveness
• Monitor team interactions to ensure leadership remains inclusive rather than dominant

Leader Selection works best when embedded within a broader learning design that values active participation, structured collaboration, and meaningful accountability, which sits at the heart of how LAMS supports teaching and learning

If you are using leader selection in the context of TBL, encourage students to rotate taking the leader or captain role. Specially if teams are maintained through out a period of time. This will ensure that all team members can step up to the role.

Learning Outcomes

Mapping learning outcomes to activities is very useful for curriculum mapping.

Add learning outcomes to the activity

As with all activities in LAMS, you can map your learning outcomes to this activity. If you want to add a learning outcome, just search for the particular outcome or type a new one it will be added to your list of learning outcomes for the future.

You can search Learning Outcomes by code or name.
