Roger Austin and I continue to be interested in school-based projects that use online learning technologies to bring together people from communities in conflict or across traditionally challenging boundaries. Our interest stems from Allport's contact theory which, vastly oversimplified, suggests that contacts between people from different groups can help to diminish prejudice.
I have attached a comprehensive review of our 2012 book which we are no hoping to update. We are eager therefore to learn about any initiatives that involve this sort of prosocial application of learning technologies--especially projects in North America.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Excellent idea. I will try to implement it i n some form next semester.
Thanks, Ragad and Kaukab. If you do try something, Kaukab, I would love to hear about it.
