Welcome to The Golden Notebook Project.
Here are answers to some common questions:
What is this?
It’s an experiment in close-reading in which seven women are reading the book and conducting a conversation in the margins. The project went live on Monday 10 November 2008.Why are you doing it?
It’s part of a long-term effort to encourage and enable a culture of collaborative learning.What do you hope to learn?
We don’t yet understand how to model a complex conversation in the web’s two-dimensional environment and we’re hoping this experiment will help us learn some of what we need to do to make this sort of collaboration as successful as possible.
Figured my friends would at least be interested in the concept of the project, changing a book reading from a semistatic book club type setting to a continuous conversation among participants, the only way it could be done, via the web. And hey, free book!
