12-Step Recovery Program for Lectureholics: (Based on 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous)

Alcoholics Anonymous has greatly informed the individual, social, and political landscape of the contemporary self-help or mutual-aid movement. There has emerged, in turn, a vast, though largely uncritical, body of research examining AA and its 12-step recovery model. A close look inside a virtual AA community, however, reveals that not all AA members embrace formal AA discourse. Through an examination of dialogue and discourse on a public Usenet newsgroup, this study demonstrates that in contrast to research that depicts AA program practices as necessarily harmonious, members' experiences of program wisdom are frequently negotiated and reassessed outside larger AA dicta. The data examined show that what becomes constituted as members' practice can be fraught with questions, tensions, and separations from conventional or ideal AA.

This article describes how a class on global consumers was transformed into an interactive class using both active and deep learning techniques. Good teachers understand that to achieve a level of lasting learning, students must be engaged on many levels. While much has been written about active learning, the concept of deep learning is limited, particularly when applied to a large class setting. This paper describes active and deep teaching strategies and provides learning exercises for their integration into the classroom. Analysis of open-ended student responses and end-of-semester quantitative responses indicated that active learning enriched the learning experiences and resulted in a deeper understanding of key concepts, thus supporting the idea that these techniques can be incorporated into a large lecture setting with relative ease and can make a significant impact on learning.
