Methods Cooperative Learning - There are five basic elements of Cooperative Learning as developed by Roger and David Johnson from the University of Minnesota. Students are aware that each of them succeeds only when the everyone else also succeeds. They share the goals and rewards for the activity and divide tasks, jobs and materials equitably.
Communication is encouraged.
Students are accountable for their own learning. They learn and practise social skills. They plan as a group and evaluate their products and processes as a group.

Teacher designed and student designed software - With easy to learn and use authoring tools, it is possible for teachers to custom design software to support specific learning objectives.
