These series of courses should adopt the following principles:
* '''Movement away from tests, and more emphasis on group projects.''' Adults tend to be "tired" and at the end of the day, but fun activities such as "break-out" sessions, ice-breakers, and group projects can be effective methods to keep students engaged and monitor participation. This is solidly supported by "Adult Learning Principles".* '''Immediate and graduated use of personal WIKIs.''' Students need to "drop the textbook", and move "towards the cloud" (i.e. contribute to online database) in order to interact and share vital information and ideas with their peers and with the World. Course notes and readings already contained in WIKIs allow instructors to direct students to edit their wiki to link to learning content. Students will slowly learn the value of a WIKI and rely on that their WIKI as opposed to traditional hard-copy educational media.
* '''Building a community''' of WIKIs (planet) to allow others to share information and collaborate.
* '''Learn to check on WIKI activity''' via "Watch Lists". In this way, students learn to follow-up with group information sharing in a consistent and frequent manner.
