Abstract
Digital learning publications have become more accessible for both creators and users. With little training, creators can utilize various web hosting sites to design and publish engaging content. The purpose of this chapter is to describe an innovative practice in providing graduate students with structured activities and resources to collaboratively author and digitally publish modules on IMPROVE (Instructional Modules for Professional learning Responding to Opportunities and Valuing Educators), a virtual professional active learning journal published on Digital Commons. In 2018, over 500 institutions of higher learning used the Digital Commons platform to manage, publish, and showcase work by faculty and students. The overall process utilized can be easily adapted to other disciplines. The learning cycle featured in the modules is based on the STAR Legacy Cycle developed by the IRIS Center and on the work of Dr. John Bransford and colleagues.
