ABSTRACT
Group learning is about getting people to work together well, in carefully set-up learning environments. The human species has evolved on the basis of group learning. Learning from other people is the most instinctive and natural of all the learning contexts we experience, and starts from birth. Although learning can only be done by the learner, and can't be done 'to' the learner, the roles of other people in accelerating and modifying that learning are vitally important. Other people can enhance the quality of our learning, and can also damage it. But how best can we make use of collaborative learning within our training programmes?
