Good strategy, Craig, if a learning group is positioned effectively, team members will often encourage each other to participate. On another note, it may be that a quiet member is still a contributor; though we hope that the group setting will help engage the more shy learners, I have found that a quiet participant may effectively assume the role as the group notetaker, and can really keep things summarized and the team on course.
Thanks for your comments,
