Storming the Syllabus

In this session, we will take a traditional syllabus and, as a group, figure out all the ways we could reconfigure it for peer-to-peer interactive learning from the ground up. Tools will be everything from index cards and markers on butcher paper to a wiki on which we will, together, showcase a variety of techniques for collective syllabus-building. We will invite participants to post their own syllabi as prototypes that others can learn from.
