hello everyone! many of us internet researchers are also internet teachers which means many of us design, tweak, and retool syllabi. sometimes we even come up with a course that really makes us excited. i'd like to share my syllabus for an undergraduate, honors-level seminar i'm teaching this spring called "digital literacy." it's a course i've been dreaming about for 2 or 3 years and it's a thrill to finally teach it! http://silverinsf.blogspot.com/2008/01/digital-literacy-spring-2008.html essentially, my students and i will be asking the question, "what is literacy during a digital age?" to help us along, we have ten guest speakers, including some folks who frequent AoIR. at this point, the idea is that in addition to reading and class discussions, we'll do plenty of stuff online (blog, flickr, RSS, audio slideshows, perhaps podcasts and video) but we'll also do plenty of stuff offline, including a four day field trip to an organic farm in humboldt county. put another way, the idea is to log on and be reflective and creative but also to log off and be reflective and creative. anyways, sometimes i wish we'd share more of our teaching and our ideas about teaching on this list - perhaps this is some kind of contribution towards that direction. have a great weekend, david silver http://silverinsf.blogspot.com
