The ultimate goal is to provide real-time, Mutual Learning facilitation as voicerecognition technology improves. Another limitation of the research was the goal structures in the Solar Car simulation.During this simulation, the students remembered from the Business simulation that achievingLevel I goals would produce a better team victory. Instead of arguing for what was best for theirown department, students simply attempted to find working combinations at this Goal Level.This changed the simulation from a mixed-motivation challenge to a “select and check
