Course Organization and Assignments
One take-home message of the course is that 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 homework assignments.
The homework assignments are not yet finalized, but will be similar to last year's course.
