What We’re Reading
For every learning experience we design, we consult the research to back up our decisions. Here’s a working bibliography of the articles we read to inform our cohort design, our assessment design, and learner engagement. Link to full text articles is provided where open access is available.
Learning Cohorts
We consulted the following articles to design small groups for our Mechanical MOOC projects, like a Gentle Introduction to Python.
