Abstract

     A unique approach comes from the pages of Learning with Others, a project focused on the concept of collaborative learning, which the authors define as “learning with, from, and for others about makes for student success in college.” (intro p. vii) Research conducted over a decade of dialogues and conversations aiming at “an alternative vision of undergraduate education” led those involved in the process to consider educational practices that should be welcome across American colleges and universities. The starting point was a group of teachers and students at twelve Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), who basically functioned as a stepping-stone towards similar places of higher education where the common ground was blending teaching and learning which ended up as learning together.
