The site consists of 2 "program" pages that give an overview of the journalism program discussed here and 6 interconnecting "principles" pages that delve into the key principles behind this particular learning community.

The site is constructed so that the visitor can enter from the beginning and read it in a linear fashion (by clicking on "next page..." at the bottom of each page) or can chose a particular topic of interest on which to focus ("criticism and feedback in the learning community," for example). Regardless of which method you choose, we highly recommend you read the program and principle page overviews. Likewise, the site can be read in a shallow or deep manner—each underlined link on these overview pages can be accessed.  Reading the supporting documentation and resources would lead to a deeper understanding of the program.
