Hi Bonnie, I hadn't checked my reader yet today.
Mark is right: it isn't an apprenticeship model. That said, neither the community nor educators working on getting their students engaged believe that is what will happen in fourteen weeks. So, it's a kind of vacuous concern: the people doing it aren't trying to create instant-apprenticeship relationships; instead, we are aspiring to legitimate peripheral participation. I'll draft a response article for os.com/edu, and perhaps GregDK would like to have a pass at what I draft.
