Work group sessions with NeuronUP

Did you know that with NeuronUP, in addition to working individually, you can run group sessions? Some centers, especially associations, work with groups where users solve the different activities together. And there is no doubt that working in a group has many advantages.

Advantages of conducting group sessions

We highlight the three main ones:

It greatly increases motivation.

Users learn from each other how to perform the task.
The social skills are worked on (respecting turn-taking, listening, helping if necessary…).

NeuronUP includes both paper activities to work in a group and digital activities suitable for group work. We show you some exercises and explain how to work them in a group.

NeuronUP digital activities to work in group sessions

As we explained above, some of NeuronUP’s digital activities can also be worked on in a group.

But how? It’s very easy! We explain it to you:

1. To be able to run sessions for group intervention, ideally create a group user first. In observations you can write the names of the members and upload a photo of the group to their profile or an image that identifies them.

2. When we create the session we can tag it with the group name or with the names of the members of that group to identify it quickly.

In this case we may want to set “no” in the “user evaluation” option to focus exclusively on the exercises and leave “yes” in “confirm end of activity” and “yes” in “continue button” to be able to control the pace of the session.
