The eight important factors are:
(1) appropriate teacher behaviour;
(2) appropriate member behaviour;
(3) nature of the learning tasks;
(4) member roles;
(5) task resources: knowledge or physical resources that

(6) goal definition: describing the purpose of the collaboration;
(7) formative evaluation with feedback from peers or

(8) summative evaluation and reward structure.
