A guide that aims to help practitioners establish well-structured and effective peer learning projects using a variety of methods…Highly recommended for a wide variety of audiences: from those educational professionals who want to start using cooperative learning at any educational stage, to those who already use it and want to improve their practices, and even for those who are not convinced about is application in the classroom yet. - Revista de Educación 379, Jan-March 2018
