Today there are a lot of options for working on collaborative web-based documents and websites as a group or class, from GitHub and Jekyll to wikis, flat-file frameworks, and more. I’d like to propose a session/workshop where we explore many of these tools both from a nuts and bolts perspective of how they’re used and also the pros/cons of various approaches. We’ll look at software and resources available via Reclaim Hosting to build on your own domain, as well as free third-party options like StackEdit and Gitbook.

I’ve been using American Yawp, a free, online U.S. history textbook, (found here) in my U.S. history survey course, and I’d love to discuss how I’ve used it, discuss other ways to use it, and collaborate with anyone else who has used it in the classroom. I’d also like to share overall reactions by students to Yawp. 

Your proposal will be shared here as a post for other campers to see.  See Propose sessions to learn more about proposing a session and THATCamp101 to understand how THATCamp unconferences work.
