The students’ grades were compared with those for control groups and longitudinal Cohorts. A questionnaire was used to obtain the opinions of the students concerning the effectiveness of the methodology and their acceptance of it.Results: The students showed improved short-term performance and collective learning. Their feedback concerning the methodology was positive.Conclusion: This strategy was shown to be a promising tool for engaging adult students in collaborative learning activities.
