I've been involved in a few LW learning cooperation efforts, and it's been my experience that they rarely lead to anything. These have mostly taken the form "hey, we're all learning [subject]! Let's make a discussion group and discuss it", and very little discussion actually takes place.

I'd be keen to hear if anyone has the opposite experience, and what form their cooperation took.

One big example of a successful study project is the LessWrong Study Hall, which is still active 1.5 years after it was started.

My experience of the Study Hall was extremely positive, but I wasn't really counting it as a cooperative learning effort since the participants are generally working on diverse areas rather than discussing a common subject.
