Social and Cultural Foundations of Education will be an interesting course at Old Dominion University, as the coursework will not be taken from the textbook, it will be the textbook.
In what may be a first for an undergraduate class, the project for the semester is the creation and editing of an open access textbook that will be used and further edited by future students of the course.
I, for one, suspect that the students will learn a great deal more this way than by the traditional methods of learning. It is definitely tougher when you are creating that which will be used by others, than by simply using it.
