Small Group Work

Learners discuss course content, exchange ideas, and solve problems in small peer groups.  The goal is to present multiple perspectives and viewpoints from group members.  Several small group formats can encourage and provide opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions such as discussion groups, role-playing, and games.
