Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Academic group formats are distinguished by their purpose and the kind of participation they require. A workshop is task-oriented and collaborative: participants work together to develop a skill, plan, or concrete product.
Application
Here, specialists assemble not merely to listen or exchange views, but to prepare a usable syllabus for a new course. Producing that shared academic document is the practical, collaborative output characteristic of a workshop.
Contrast
Seminar: emphasizes focused study, presentation, and discussion of a subject.
Workshop: emphasizes active collaboration toward a concrete output, such as a syllabus or plan.
Conference: provides a broader formal forum for exchanging information across themes or sessions.
Symposium: organizes several specialist presentations on different aspects of one defined topic.
Result
The process is a workshop.
