encourage cooperation among students
Providing constructive criticism to others is easier for students. One good thing about online groups is how freely ideas are expressed. I know for me I am not afraid that anyone will tell me my ideas are not good. I am not afraid to offer help or to get more involved with an online group as opposed to a group that meets in person and works in a classroom together. It feels like a more professional (electronic) environment where people are comfortable to be themselves and help others do their best. ..cp 08m
