"participatory learning"

I'm coming to participatory learning from just completing a PhD in Open Source Software Development, studying how to build a sequel to Wikipedia: a crowd sourced resource of learning material (rather than reference material).

Very enthusiastic about the idea of collaborative learning.

Have become involved in several related Google+ communities:
