Title: Team Teaching
Course: Producing Micro Content in a Team (Digivisio 2030) > Section: How to Produce Micro Content in a Team?

In " Composing your team ", we spoke about the different specialists who might be brought together to turn expertise into micro content or courses. We focused heavily on the specialists and support personnel who can help educators produce high-quality open educational resources (or commercial courses). However, it might not always be possible to assemble a large team; for example, resources might be limited, or the course will be taught synchronously as part of open university studies or formal degree provisions. In these cases, you might find team teaching an excellent way to enrich your teaching or course. It is widely recognised that there are many benefits of team teaching (Crawford, R., & Jenkins, L. (2017):

- the sharing of resources and materials,
- the ability for teachers to ask other specialists for advice
- the increased sense of security that comes from the shared responsibility
- enhances the professional development of the academics involved because of the opportunities it offers for collaborative reflection.

In this podcast (in Finnish, text alternative in English), University Teachers Jessica Hurme and Jaana Tikkala, University of Jyväskylä,  discuss their experiences with team teaching and collaborative content creation.
