Course Organization and Assignments
One take-home message of the course is how the Internet and social computing have significantly altered the way new content is generated and distributed. To experience this first-hand, students will use several collaborative technologies (Google Docs, Blogger, and DokuWiki) for completing the written homework assignments.
The course work consists of three components, each carrying equal weight:
- Weekly Blogging: team effort, blogging on the topic in lectures
- Wiki Project: teams are assigned one course topic and contribute to the CS4EDU wiki
- Blown to Bits: Individual response to one chapter in the book Blown to Bits
To get familiar with the tools and technologies, students will complete an initial assignment.
