This project could not have been completed without the generous support of many people and institutions. Specifically, I would like to thank:

1. The many faculty who were willing to share their time, expertise, and materials: Veronica Burrows; John Demel; Suzanne Dietrich; Eric Guilbeau; Bob Gustafson, P.K. Imbrie; Richard Layton; Cesar O. Malave; John Merrill; Jim Morgan; Russ Pimmel; Vincent Pizziconi; Greg Raupp; Teri Rhoads; Don Richards; Jim Richardson; Ron Roedel; and Susan Urban.

2. Our cooperative learning and teaming experts, Richard M. Felder, Darwyn E. Linder, and Karl A. Smith, for sharing not only their personal experiences with active/cooperative learning, but also for providing us with an understanding of the theoretical and empirical work upon which these approaches are based.

3. The Foundation Coalition, for its generous support of this project. Special thanks to the members of the Long Range Planning Committee and to Jeffrey E. Froyd and Karen Frair, FC Project Directors.

4. Steve Melsheimer, Associate Dean of Engineering at Clemson University, for providing invaluable support and assistance in helping us to videotape many of the participants during the Share the Future Conference at Clemson in March 2001.

5. Duane Roen, Director of the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence at Arizona State University, for contributing effort of both professional staff and research assistants, whose work in transcribing and editing the faculty interviews was invaluable.

6. April McCleary, Secretary of CRESMET at Arizona State University, for her patience, good humor, and extraordinary organizational skills.

7. Don Evans, Director of CRESMET, for giving me the opportunity to direct this project.

8. Extra special thanks to two people without whose talent, perseverance, and sense of humor this project could not possibly have been completed: Thanks to Dr. Janel White-Taylor of the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence, for her unfailing hard work and support (and for her special wardrobe and hairdressing talents). Thanks to Nancy Clemens of Technology Based Learning and Research, for her astonishing skill at turning a vast collection of abstract ideas into a beautifully organized, concrete product.
