self organized learning

[Harold Shinsato]

  Jim & Michele McCarthy were tasked with reproducing the amazing team 
they had at Microsoft. They got a number of participants for their first 
workshop. They tasked them to create their own class. The task of the 
class was to "create a class that teaches you everything you need to 
know about shipping great products on time every time."

In other words - they gave it to the team to come up with the workshop. 
Repeat it hundreds of times, accumulate the learning, and they came up 
with a brilliant process that reminds me of the spirit and feeling I get 
in Open Space. It's documented in their book "Software For Your Head".

So yes, maybe it would work to have them define their own curriculum. It 
might work 10 X better than any other way.
