Kieran Egan on Learning in Depth - long version

"Learning in Depth" is a simple though radical innovation in curriculum and instruction designed to ensure that all students become experts about something during their school years.
In the 2008/9 school year, 30 students in two British Columbia schools began building LiD portfolios. In 2009/10 more than 2,000 students were involved in the program. In 2010/11 many more students have become involved in Canada and the US, in Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Romania, Greece, England, Japan, Iran, and other countries.

Does Dr Egan offer a course yet to look at this in more detail? I see workshops, which are intended to bring schools on board obviously, but I'd love to go through research on this topic and other "radical" ideas on how to reform education.
