I'll skip past the details of the survey of 300 Malaysian students (at least they're not from a small midwestern university) and get to the factors identified by the authors (all quoted, but paraphrased):
- group learning can be stimulated by emphasizing work, relationship, positive attitudes, active participation, improved leadership, and collaborative learning.
- motivation can be stimulated by emphasizing effort and feeling satisfied though learning
- skills development can be stimulated by emphasizing the use of web resources, enhanced online communication, and meaningful presentation
- knowledge transfer can be stimulated by project management and readiness for future developments
This all feels a bit made-up, honestly, because these attributes and factors read more like platitudes than real findings. You can read the web version (in Flash - ugh) here.
