Name of resource: Minority influence: collaborative learning task (forum)
Submitted by: Aidan Sammons
Specification details: AQA-A
Other specifications: 
Guidance: instructions for a class based activity using collaborating learning tools (a forum).
This one was designed for a Moodle VLE but would presumably work in any VLE that allowed you
to use forums.  Presumably would also work for distance learning and as an out-of-class activity
but I've not tested it these ways.

Students are asked to select one of three minority groups and use relevant psychological info on
minority influence to explain how they would go about converting people to their cause.  

This activity produced high levels of engagement from the students and some very well-thought out
(and funny) responses.  Took about an hour.

The resource you download gives you moodle forum settings and instruction text in a Rich Text Format
document so you can copy and paste it into your VLE.
