One of the reasons I was particularly interested in the paper from Liverpool is that I am an English Literature graduate and I did no group work at all in my u/g degree. So this looks like a departure from disciplinary norms. Do both of these case studies challenge norms?

We have plenty of teamwork in our degree (as in most/all computing science degrees - a requirement of professional accreditation) - but it is against the norm to strongly encourage students to voice their opinions openly in class and put it down in writing. It's something the employers want, but something not built into our courses. It is a mark of how much we, the department, own the degree/the courses/the assessments.
