I'd like to hear - or see - a more detailed example of an actual course or lesson taught with this method. I always get lost in that gap between teaching theory and practice. It reminds me a little of the cooperative learning movement that was in vogue when I was in grad school, where the teacher facilitates small groups, gives them a project to do and stands back in a support role. In an online classroom, however, it seems like the student has more responsibility to participate since the teacher isn't standing over their shoulder to make sure they're engaged. If the student doesn't participate, how does it affect the rest of the lesson/students? Interesting. Checked this out after you mentioned it today.
