• • Learning is not generic; learning always occurs in a specific context.
• • Active learning improves a pupil’s/student’s ability to be successful and leads to ownership of learning.
• • Collaboration encourages the development of critical thinking and benefits both pupils/students and tutors
• • Training of tutors, consultants, and discussion leaders includes current learning theory and promotes ethical practices.
