Here we offer some additional points about learning in groups.

• The make-up of the group (size, age, competencies, interests, friendships, the children's own suggestions, etc.) is an important consideration in how the group functions and learns.

• Learning groups also share a focus on learning how to learn in a group and understanding the understanding of others.

• What a learning group learns is often connected to how the group learns.

• Learning in groups is central to how individual learning is constructed.
