Learning in Distributed Low-Stakes Teams
Stephen MacNeil, Celine Latulipe, Aman Kumar Yadav · 2015
Active learning is important in computer science education, where students often don't have enough opportunities for social learning and development of soft skills. Flipped classrooms can provide social interaction through approaches such as lightweight teams [23], where students collaborate during class in low-stakes peer learning. These teams scaffold positive interdependence [17] by removing high-stakes assignments that heavily impact student's grades.
