* Learning of every group member being a group responsibility - at the time or carrying out group work and reporting it | |||
* Bully effect and free rider effect - for pupils who are dominating, shy and even lazy | |||
* Seating arrangement during group work with ICTs - all arrangements that increase optimum use of ICT resources | |||
