This all sounds cool -- but, in an obligatory old-guard reply --
what's the rush? Do we want to create a music theory-based TED
world of sexy but not-road-tested (and in the case of most TED
lectures, hopelessly, romantically, pie-in-the-sky) solutions that
last as long as a Tweet? Tonal Theory in ten Tweets? Check out

for cautions ("meet the new boss . . . "), and also check into
Dilbert's attempts at working from home for more cautions on
flipping classes -- and that's before online Netflix!!

ipad-toting technology geek, but there's something to be said for
a well-considered thought process. And don't forget to check with
your Provost on promotion requirements, which may not include
"change the world by Tuesday."<br>

Otherwise, godspeed!<br>

<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div>A new project has grown out of FlipCamp Music Theory, the
unconference on the inverted music theory class that took place
in Charleston last month. We are excited to solicit <span

0.230469); ">short essays (approx. 1500 words) on the subject
of student-centered learning</span> for a crowdsourced ebook,
<i>Engaging Students: Essays in Music Pedagogy</i>. Submissions
are due <b>July 15, 2013</b>, and we hope to publish the
complete volume online by August, in time for these essays to
assist readers in their planning for fall courses. <i>Engaging
Students</i> will serve as an open-access, web-based resource
for those teaching college-level classes in music.</div>

<div>
<div id="mb">We envision a new format for scholarly
communication based upon collaborative and swift peer review.
We take our inspiration from hack-a-thons, in which creative
solutions to a problem emerge from working intensely together
in a collaborative environment for a limited time, as well as
the crowdsourced ebook, <i>Hacking the Academy</i>, and the
open-access journal, <i>Hybrid Pedagogy</i>. You will receive
feedback on your manuscript within a week of the submission
deadline. The revision process will consist of efficient
online interactions between you and the editorial group.</div>
<div id="mb"><br>
</div>
<div id="mb">We are looking to combine essays of both a
philosophical and practical nature on a wide range of topics
relevant to the teaching of music at the university level. </div>
