By pooling their knowledge and bouncing ideas off one another, all members of the group increase their understanding of the course material. Examine whether your course material lends itself to dividing your learners into teams for discussion, role-playing or projects. Provide the appropriate technological tools for group learning. These tools can include email discussions, chat rooms, and online forums. Self-testing improves understanding.
