Abstract
This paper deals with the ability of cooperating teams of learners to learn classes of total recursive functions. The main contribution of the research described here is the development of analytical tools which permit the determination of team learning capabilities. The basis of our analytical framework is a reduction technique. We extend the notion of finite learning in order to successfully apply the reduction technique.
