Learning Cooperatively
Your success in this course depends in part (40%) on your participation in a cooperative team. To make the most of virtual cooperative learning, apply the big ideas from face-to-face cooperative learning:

  • Be responsible for your own learning.
  • Share your knowledge freely.
  • Learn what you can from others.
  • Foster interdependence by asking for and giving help.
  • Believe that 2+2=5.
  • Believe and practice the axiom: We each learn more when we all learn well.
  • Express your ideas openly.
  • Listen carefully to feedback.
  • Be a good critical friend.
  • Share responsibility for the summaries of your team's best thinking.
