Abstract:

Computer implemented methods, systems, and products uses learning cycles of individual and group work to emphasize the importance of collaborative behaviors and demonstrate the values of effective team work on outcomes. The computer implemented methods, systems, and products relate to team based learning with individual and group assessment for addressing a project or a problem, particularly to promote interaction between participants. In the computer implemented learning cycle, a team works as individuals and then as a group to determine responses to an overall project or problem. In addition to assessing the performance of the individuals and the determined individualized and overall responses, the computer implemented methods, systems, and products track the progress and activity of individuals and the team. Through the cycle of learning activities, individuals demonstrate personal responsibility, collaborative orientation, communication skills, conflict management, and problem solving.
