Handbooks

Three handbooks, by what you came here to do

The overview page tells you what the platform does. These tell you how to actually do it — one for convincing your institution, one for running a course, one for publishing from it. Each is written to be read start to finish in one sitting, and to be forwarded to someone who was not in the room.

The Chinese documents are older and more detailed, because the platform grew up in Taiwanese higher education. Where a handbook and a Chinese policy document disagree, the policy document — /doc/labs for research governance — is the authoritative one, and we would like to know about the discrepancy.

What these handbooks will not do

They will not claim a learning gain. Nothing on this platform is sold, so nothing here is written to close a sale: where the honest answer is "this may not suit you", the handbooks say so, and each one ends with a chapter of limitations rather than a call to action. The evidence claims live in the 19 peer-reviewed papers, where they can be checked.

Currently running across 21 higher-education institutions, 4,400+ learners and 420,000+ learning interactions.
