Co-operative learning

I’ve been delighted to see the exact wording of my suggestions that were in a base of ad-hoc education idea by notable education innovator as Dr. Karl Winklmann of College of Engineering and Applied Science University of Colorado at Boulder.

Quotation from University of Colorado site:

"Co-operative learning," as described and advocated by Karl Smith and others. (See Johnson, Johnson, and Smith, Active Learning: Cooperation in the Classroom, Interaction Book Company, ISBN 0-939603-14-4.)
Learning by doing, by carrying out projects.
Students learn by teaching, and they can be the best teachers.
Related to the preceding points: "just-in-time" learning, or "learning on demand."
A common thread in all of the above ideas seems to be the notion that learning is knowledge construction, not knowledge absorption.


Other stuff is placed http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~karl/education_committee/inventory_college.html. The notable thing is that these notes are dated 1995.
