Networking Builds Cooperation
Email and Web sites allow students to leverage off of each other's
work, creating cooperative work situations similar to
many professional environments
A possible class activity:
- Basic topic is introduced ("Exotic marine species as pollution")
- Each student researches an aspect of the topic, posting
their results as a Web page
- Students review each other's work
- Working in teams from the first papers, draft a
more comprehensive report, which they post on the Web
- Teams critique each others reports
- Overviews are merged into a final topic report.
