Hello chess teams! I am an educational psychologist and am particularly interested in collelctive learning. I am a member of Team Philippines and we have played against various chess teams at chess.com. According to Tapscott and Williams (2008) collective learning is a theory on mass collaboration, and in orde for this to happen, four principles need to exist. These are 1) Openness--anyone may freely suggest a move or a series of moves, 2) Sharing--anyone may freely explain the reason for his or her suggested move, or criticize the sugested move or series of moves of another, 3) Peering--wherein each member, regardless of his or her Elo rating, has one vote regarding the move to be made, and 4) Global action--the game is won or lost as a team.
I see all these four principles not only in my own chess team, but in most teams here at chess.com, but not in all.
