An Interactive Open-Resource Model for Student Involvement in Historical Disciplines
Richard Saunders
Southern Utah University

Historical disciplines offer open-participation opportunities encouraging learning and personal commitment within a discipline. Allowing students to develop class-related material for downstream students improves personal investment and creates resources of lasting value. This presentation
illustrates a working model for one low-stakes, high-impact practice designed to give students an early experience with developing learning material (and thus direct application and critical thinking) at a
professional level. The model can be adapted and applied to either small-group or individual work. Demonstrated in three different disciplines, the model provides a structure for creating and reviewing open-resource content for primary source content, problem sets, and image banks.
