Although "this question is regarding finding practical instructions to applying the teachings in meditation", it's title stays generic, "Learning materials for Dependent Origination". I feel like people may come here looking for information on the meaning of Paticcasamuppada.

Two most interesting pieces of analysis I found are

• Nanavira Thera's Notes on Dhamma (http://www.nanavira.org/notes-on-dhamma/paticcasamuppada)

and

• Buddhadasa's "Practical Dependent Origination" (http://buddhasociety.com/online-books/buddhadasa-bhikkhu-paticcasamuppada-21-2#TOC and http://www.dhammatalks.net/Books6/Bhikkhu_Buddhadasa_Paticcasamuppada.htm)

a decent bibliography can be found at the end of Dhivan Thomas Jones' "New Light On The Twelve Nidanas" (http://www.academia.edu/2593517/New_Light_on_the_Twelve_Nidanas)
