I think that this is super cool, but can I ask why your assignment is to only help with a jam team, and not participate in a jam in a team yourselves? I don't think I speak for everyone involved in the jams, but I would guess that most of us just kinda go for it when making a game for jams.

I see that you mentioned "remote collaboration", but is that really the only thing you guys are trying to take away from such an experience?

And on a side note, if you guys had a hard time finding people to help, but absolutely HAD to help a team, would it help if I just made a jam team where I was looking for all the work to be done by "helpers"? Lol bit of a joke, but wouldn't mind doing that if you guys really needed to.

Hi Kerrigan - good questions! The post said, "to contribute to your jam project in any way you like, either by joining your team or completing a single task", so it's not to help only.

This is just one of the assignments the class have been asked to do. They are also working on longer term projects in internal teams. The point of this one specifically is to get experience of collaborating and communicating with a new team and documenting the process at some point during the semester. (I'm the lecturer who set the assignment and I made the first post as a jumping-off point.)
