Nancy and Tony, I wondered if you'd care to elaborate on the use of CBM in groups.

I've had students do exercises that included CBM where each pair of students worked on a computer. This was first Yr medical students. I had about 5 or 6 pairs of students at once (but I'm sure that I could have dealt with more pairs). After a brief introduction to the system,they got on with it themselves. If a pair wanted to discuss anything with me, they did (about the science or technical problems or understanding the summary of their performance that they get at the end). It worked well in that they all finished the exercise, discussed between the members of own pair, and did not disintegrate into a general free-for-all-discussion. They were free to do the exercise again & always did better 2nd time through. I cannot remember doing this, but it obviously would be good to have a discussion at the end of the session about which were the hardest questions, suggestions for other questions, or improvements to explanations
