Abstract
ASTER is a cross-disciplinary project exploring the use of educational technology to support small-group learning and teaching activities in the Physical Sciences, Psychology and disciplines within the Humanities. The main aims of the ASTER project are to identify the different ways in which communications and information technologies (C&IT) can support small group work, identify similarities and differences between the disciplines and examine the case for cross -disciplinary transfer of good practice.
