3.Barkley, Elizabeth F. et al. Collaborative Learning Techniques: a Handbook for College Faculty. San Francisco, CA, Jossey-Bass, 2014. Print.
Collaborative Learning Techniques is the bestseller that college and university faculty around the world have used to help them make the most of small group learning.
A mountain of evidence shows that students who learn in small groups together exhibit higher academic achievement, motivation, and satisfaction than those who don’t. Collaborative learning puts into practice the major conclusion from learning theory: that students must be actively engaged in building their own minds. In this book, the authors synthesize the relevant research and theory to support thirty-five collaborative learning activities for use in both traditional and online classrooms.
You can read the whole book below or online through the UML library website.
