This discusses the idea of cooperative learning - encouraging knowledge creation and the spread of the knowledge that is gained.

this discusses learning in a service environment - but the general point is the same - community centered learning is more of a "doing with" model rather than a "doing for" model.

An article regarding online course continuous improvement

This is extremely interesting to me because it ties into continuous improvement but also the continuous improvement of online courses - something I can use both in this class as well as professionally.

this is a textbook I'll use to point my students to research materials when they are working in their group projects. I can also pull from it to use as readings in the different areas.
