  abstract =     "A problem in teaching large introductory computer
                 science courses is to overcome the impersonality of the
                 large lecture class and to provide more personal
                 attention to individual students. Our approach is to
                 use peer learning experiences to instill in students
                 the need to take responsibility for their learning and
                 for the learning of those around them. Recent work has
                 shown that educational quality for students and
                 productivity for faculty can be enhanced through use of
                 peer-learning environments where students do not just
                 learn and faculty do not just teach. The novel aspects
                 of our work are to apply group learning in a large
                 introductory computer science class setting and to
                 expect more responsibility on the part of students for
                 their learning. In support of these goals we have
                 introduced the use of upper-level undergraduate
                 students to help facilitate student group interaction.
                 In addition, we have developed software to minimize the
                 administrative overhead of handling many groups and for
                 students to electronically record group learning
                 activities.",
