Tinker, R., et al (2009) ‘Community-Authored Resources for Education’ Concord Consortium Newsletter, Winter
An analysis of the use of community-authored resources for science teaching. Quote: ‘Imagine creating the materials collaboratively through a community of educators who share their knowledge, critique each other, and shepherd the evolution of a cluster of good materials. The result would not be a single, inflexible textbook handed down from on high, but a collection of malleable resources.’
