The Collective Learning Paradigm:

 * Collective learning requires a strong motivation among the learners to work in groups and dedicatedly explore, develop, discuss and self-perfect the material.
 * Establishment of mutual trust is paramount. It is very important to trust all collaborators as peers, overlooking any differences in status or power, suspending assumptions and certainties, and delaying deliberation and decision until everyone is convinced.
 * Collectively, individuals can discuss and develop educational materials, help each other with questions and exercises and other similar tasks. Collectively they can learn by doing. This enhances their capability to learn the process of learning and their ability to retain the material much longer, making it a formative experience.
 * The collective learning paradigm is extremely helpful in organizations, where employees are expected to explore, experience and teach themselves new technologies without formal training.
