Students-a resource, not a burden

Abstract

Cooperative learning was recently introduced at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH). A student group, ALTUND, has played a major role in this university-wide activity. ALTUND planned two workshops which were held in February 1988. The first was a 3-day workshop for 25 professors and 12 students, while the second was a one-day workshop attended by 200 teachers and students. Teachers who participated became heavily committed to cooperative learning. Examples of the cooperative learning activities in the classes of the professors are presented.<>
