Syllabi: It Ends With A Course!
Student - Reading textbooks and research
Teacher - Carrying out course
Expert - Designs courses and evaluates effectiveness\
Not strictly money, also creating and allotting time.
I guess this means planning how to afford books, how to borrow from university libraries, what things are open access or online, etc.
Students can socialize between themselves ("informally formal" clubs, and "casually" chat in passing). Maybe they can take initiative of creating and maintaining social networks or messaging platforms per interest or manually?
Faculty can socialize professionally, and between themselves and students. (Various ways as workplace, and through advising, courses, etc.)\
Communicates understanding, from teacher to student (but can gain understanding through students).
Common courses tend to socialize among institutions, and may even develop independently yet find many start simultaneously.
With perspective of "imposed" courses, teachers/experts can share among field.
With perspective of courses driven by student interest (ex history of local), institutions are able to somehow figure out prospective interest.\
- Interests compound, so how would you collect related papers into a field? You could pick topics that you're interested in and then follow what comes out of a particular lab/department/etc, or follow research by marking that you've read something. I guess that would mean being able to date when you acquired something and then the date(s) that you read it. After that, maybe you could manually make connections with things to say that one paper inspired you to look at another (or more), whether because it had the same concept, or the same keywords. It would be helpful to use browser history and have some extension to let you automatically add something to your database/list (like MyAnimeList extensions do) which is just easier to add dates acquired and dates read, or which things you downloaded in a batch but haven't read yet, and whether you're planning to read them in the future or not. I guess you would see trends in what you're interested in while comparing all the entries to themselves and others, so then you could identify that you're interested in camping, for example.. and as you explore "the literature" a bit more, you can figure out what specifically interests you as it's expressed by other people.
- But what about just uploading the comments you have on academic papers? That would be maybe a summary and citation, and then jump off into whatever comment or diatribe your went on, depending how associative your mind is with ideas or the world. But, you should be able to list things as general interests before you start reading papers as well. I mean, I know I'm interested in literature and its cognitive aspects, but without reading Zena Hitz' book and then having Real Presences suggested as a Comparative Literature book, I wouldn't know what "how literature affects the human psyche" means.
