The Learning Quest Framework
This is a framework for organizing and motivating a self-study group around any particular subject/topic.
(1) Organize a group of people who are interested in learning about the subject/topic.
(2) Agree upon a text which everyone can obtain (the same edition).
(3) Define the scope of the quest with a definite start and a definite ending. This could be "the entire book" or it could be particular chapters, etc.
