would use webboard or some such facility.

I know this is a detail that can be worked out later but...
I would like to cast a vote in favor of NOT using Webboard. I'm not
sure what others have experienced but in the workshops and discussions I
have participated in using webboard, I have found it difficult to follow
topics and threads of discussion. I could look into using a system
developed here at my institution (Syllabase- www.3gb.com) that works
pretty well on both the instructor and student side.

As for readings, I would like to see something that intersects both
research and CHAT, possibly some theoretical pieces on AT (e.g. Marx's
Grundisse, Economical and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844, Capital or
someone else's interpretation of such work) as well as educational
theory articles such as the Kemmis & McTaggert article on 'Participatory
Action Research' and/or Lincoln & Guba's 'Paradigmatic Controversies,
contradictions, and Emerging Confluences' (both of which are in the 2000
ed of Qualitative Research Handbook).

But maybe this is too much of a grad student topic (guilty as charged ;)
for others....

That's my 0.02
