A similar effect can be found on participants’ ratings for the four questions focused on participants’ perception of the amount, type, and enjoyment of their learning in the course (questions L1-L4). Initially, the course is not enjoyable, participants feel as though they are learning some theoretical knowledge, not learning practical skills, and do not feel as though they are learning as much as they expected. Again, this is not totally unexpected given the relatively ill-defined nature of the early goal-setting period of the collaborative design process. Our experiences with teaching this course have led us to believe that how a group forms, develops, and learns to work together is very important in not only developing a final design, but also in the learning that results from the process. We are not surprised, based upon our prior experiences, that the results from
