I've been seeing more of this recently. It's essentially the connectivist model, except that instead of having people like George and myself set up a structure, you use a book to set up a structure. People read the book, and readings related to the book, and each other, and the whole works is aggregated and distributed across the network. This group is reading Amartya Sen's recent book, The Idea of Justice. barbara Ganley, meanwhile, writes about a group reading James Joyce's Dubliners. Yes, there are challenges - not everyone feels confident posting their 'unschooled' thoughts online. The rewards, I would say, outweigh the risks.
