We recomend to let the students have a notebook that will work as a helpful tool to both students and teachers.
The students will use it as a reminder of their new knowledge and how the group is collaborating.
The teacher will use it as a tool to see how the groupmembers collaborate and if there is something he or she can supports the group with.
