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 course work consists of three components:
- Weekly Blogging: team effort to summarize and respond to lecture topics (50% of grade)
- Wiki Project: individual research and contribution of course wiki content (20% of grade)
- Blown to Bits: 2-page essay on one chapter in the book Blown to Bits (30% of grade)
