course wiki

So, I've been working on getting my emerging syllabus up onto Studyplace, which I've chosen as the wiki tool for our course.  It's a project started by a prof in my department, with a goal of being an "educational commons" that facilitates inquiry around the question "what educates?"  (No small task, eh?)  They also provide a space for courses to have a home, and I thought that it would be appropriate for a class on social and communicative aspects of ICTs to be housed in such a framework.

Anyway, the course is one that's been on the books for a few years now at TC - I took it during my first semester, almost 5 years ago (memories...) - and is usually taught by my advisor.  I've kept his assignments and course goals, but have also had quite a bit of flexibility.  So, I added a semester-long blogging assignment, made an underlying research strand more explicit, and chose the course topics and readings.   I'm happy for feedback, but be nice!  This is my first go around.  :)

So I'm teaching my first semester-long, graduate level class this fall, which I'm very excited about.  The class schedule is out, and like a giggly schoolchild I admit to feeling a little thrill at seeing my name listed...
