I believe positive cooperation / collaboration will bring unexpected values to achieve success for any school assignment / work project.  Reason being every individual is unique with its strengths & weaknesses - when the right mix of individuals are teamed-up together they can achieve something wonderful that go beyond complex challenges, wider spectrum & deeper scope etc. unimaginable.  Synergy 1 + 1 > 2 is real.  This collaboration particularly is very useful when come out to work - hence it is good exposure for students to cultivate such collaboration early in school / university.

I think that collaborative tasks allow students to build key 21st Century skills that would be worth studying. It has been my experience that lots of time I assume students come into the classroom with these team work skills and then experience many challenges among student groups in orienting their collaborative or team tasks to a successful completion. Many of them sometimes never acquire those team work skills and I have to go back and teach these before assigning more team or collaborative tasks.
Many thanks,

I think it's essential for both faculties and students. Collaborative teaching and learning can make a huge difference, as different individual has different experience, background, and expertise. Teamwork is not just let the participants to learn effectively, but also develop their communication skills and broden their vision.

In our INTERREG-IVa project "GRMN -- Magnetism Network for the Greater Region"
we have announced on our homepage www.greater-magnetism.eu a concourse to design interesting (and cheap) experiments concerning all fields of magnetism. These experiments will be included in a magnetism box, which will be commercially available in the future. Due to a strong limitation of the costs, a single experiment should be simple and not cost more than ~10 €.
The inventor of a selected experiment will be mentioned in the manual. There will be also a prize draw among all contributors -- the prize will be a finalized magnetism box.
Please see the respective link given below. There should be also an announcement
on the black board of the JEMS conference about it.
Looking forward to receive your contributions, either via ResearchGate or our homepage http://www.greater-magnetism.eu.
