THE AIM OF THIS TEACHING PROJECT is to explore the possibilities of which is
known as a living handbook, or an interactive, ongoing handbook accessible
online to be edited by authors and for consult for the scholarly community. It
is also our goal to explore the ways of obtaining an open textbook out of some
advanced versions of the living handbook – a more static output from a more
dynamic one. We continue this way the production of materials to be used in

THE AIM OF THIS TEACHING PROJECT is to explore the possibilities of which is
known as a living handbook, or an interactive, ongoing handbook accessible
online to be edited by authors and for consult for the scholarly community. It
is also our goal to explore the ways of obtaining an open textbook out of some
advanced versions of the living handbook – a more static output from a more
dynamic one. We continue this way the production of materials to be used in
the teaching of master programs on communication research, an effort
initiated by producing a first output called Methodos. Anuario de Métodos de
Investigación en Comunicación Social [Methodos. Yearbook on Research Methods
in Social Communication], intended as a product of our concern on how to
teach such courses. This first volume develops the first phase of the Project,
and it is a conceptual guideline for the further development, during the
academic year 2020-2021, of the real prototype tool. It advances, as well, some
of the academic concepts to be further developed. The second volume is an
Open Textbook, in pdf format, which offers the initial contents to be provided
as well in the living handbook online.
The present study aims to examine the effect of a new format for sharing
content with Pompeu Fabra University students in a Master's Degree in
Communication. The study uses a quasi-experimental design, as there are no
more than two examples of this new format. The aim is to achieve a digital
and interactive book where both teachers and students can participate,
adding valuable content related to the master's degree.
