TARGIT (Training and Resources for Gender Inclusive Teamwork) is a collaborative development and content project for a new, open-access, online training tool. TARGIT was created by a team of engineering education researchers and faculty development specialists. The researchers summarized and condensed the body of literature about teamwork into four areas: team formation, team roles, team facilitation, and team evaluation. These areas were then turned into 4 modules by the faculty development specialists. The modules guide users through various ways in which teamwork can be problematic for women and other underrepresented groups. Users then complete interactive activities in which they apply their newly gained knowledge to situations they might encounter in the classroom.
