+ | ====== 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 ([[https://docs.google.com/|Google Docs]], [[http://www.blogger.com/|Blogger]], and [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/|DokuWiki]]) for completing homework assignments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The course work consists of three components: | ||
+ | - [[weekly_blogging|Weekly Blogging]]: team effort to summarize and respond to lecture topics (50% of grade) | ||
+ | - [[wiki project|Wiki Project]]: individual research and contribution of course wiki content (20% of grade) | ||
+ | - [[blown to bits|Blown to Bits]]: 2-page essay on one chapter in the book [[http://www.bitsbook.com/thebook/|Blown to Bits]] (30% of grade) | ||
