CLN (not really about) (collaborative writing 29.1/50)
Sosnoski, James J., Patricia Harkin, and Ann Feldman. "Collaborative Learning Networks: A Curriculum for the Twenty-First Century." Beyond English Inc.: Curricular Reform in a Global Economy. Eds. David B. Downing, Claude Mark Hurlbert, and Paula Mathieu. Portsmouth, NH: Boynton/Cook, 2002. 219-230.
brief summary: CLN is a blanket-term for positive models of how to institutionalize interdisciplinary teaching/learning efforts. the examples described in the article are fascinating but don't have much in common with one another & so offer ideas for how other programs could construct similarly productive programs, but don't really focus in on a method or result; this isn't so much abour "currucular reform" as technological opportunities to rethink how curricula are isolated and defined so that, with new definitions considered, reform will be possible.
