2. All participants identify joint goals, plan activities and group tasks that require inter-dependence while allowing for individual responsibility.
3. The pace is appropriate to the learning.
4. Language focuses on learning and meta-learning.
5. Learning is connected across all contexts; boundaries are permeated.
6. Learners construct their own questions, help each other develop their ideas through investigation, research, oral history and presentations.
