DJ>Coop learning is not for all occasions. Larger groups generate 
DJ>a large quantity of info or ideas (think of it as brainstorming) 
DJ>with little refinement of the ideas or high quality. The more 
DJ>exacting the task, the smaller the group. One should taylor the 
DJ>size of the group to the nature of the task/info.
An important factor would seem to me the paring up of group members.  
How can one avoid a "bad mix?"  I think of my college days where we did 
group assignments and some members were just along for the ride.
