Collaborative Learning in Philosophy

Our aim is to use this site as a place for lodging useful information about the use of collaborative learning in philosophy to help students and lecturers. This is an evolving resource and we would like to receive information from students and lecturers as well as ideas about what information that you would find helpful.

The development of this site is supported by the Philosophical and Religious Studies Learning and Teaching Support Network
