Re-imagining the Art School
This book proposes ‘paragogic’ methods to re-imagine the art academy. While art schooling was revolutionised in the early 20th century by the Bauhaus, the author argues that many art schools are unwittingly recycling the same modernist pedagogical fashions. Stagnating in such traditions, today’s art schools are blind to recent advances in the scholarship of teaching and learning. As discipline-based education research in art eternally battles the perceived threat of epistemicide, transformative educational practices are rapidly overcoming the perennialism of the art school. The author develops critical case studies of open source and peer-to-peer methods for re-imagining the art academy (para-academia) and andragogy (paragogy). This innovative book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of the art school, as well as how the art academy can be reimagined and rebuilt.
MOOCs and Their Afterlives
A trio of headlines in the Chronicle of Higher Education seem to say it all: in 2013, “A Bold Move Toward MOOCs Sends Shock Waves;” in 2014, “Doubts About MOOCs Continue to Rise,” and in 2015, “The MOOC Hype Fades.” At the beginning of the 2010s, MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, seemed poised to completely revolutionize higher education. But now, just a few years into the revolution, educators’ enthusiasm seems to have cooled. As advocates and critics try to make sense of the rise and fall of these courses, both groups are united by one question: Where do we go from here? Elizabeth Losh has gathered experts from across disciplines—education, rhetoric, philosophy, litera...
The Peeragogy Handbook
A resource for self-organizing self-learners
The Peeragogy Handbook V. 3
The Peeragogy Handbook isn't a normal book. It is an evolving guide, and it tells a collaboratively written story that you can help write. It is a living document. Our global group of online collaborators releases a new version every year as we test, talk over, and tweak the methods. At any given moment the latest version is available at peeragogy.org. You can comment on each page in the online edition, talk directly with the contributors, and connect with current collaborators in the Peeragogy in Action community on Google Plus (G+). But the print edition lets you do some things that the web doesn't. Get out a pen or pencil and mark it up as you read - doodle, underline, cross things out, or festoon the pages with sticky notes. Ask questions and offer ways to improve the ideas and make them more effective in the next edition. We've been doing ourselves for four years! To make it easier to dive into the content, we kick things off with a short workbook that contains a concise guide to the who, what, when, where, how and why of Peeragogy. We've also updated our PLoP workshopped pattern catalog, added more case studies, and made numerous small improvements to the text throughout.

Adaptation Studies and Learning
Adaptation Studies is a fast-emerging discipline which has expanded into other areas of media scholarship. With its roots in literature and film, this discipline can be applied to much broader uses, even as a process that governs every aspect of our lives. Indeed, by expanding the scope of “adaptation” to encompass a larger perspective, this discipline can promote lifelong learning that emphasizes communication, social interaction, and aesthetic engagement. In Adaptation Studies and Learning: New Frontiers, Laurence Raw and Tony Gurr seek to redefine the ways in which adaptation is taught and learned. Comprised of essays, reflections, and “learning conversations” about the ways in wh...
