Hi Massimo, This looks like a great idea for a course. I have taught a couple similar courses, including my recent graduate seminar, "Space, Place, and Identity in the Digital Age." While it was a graduate level course, I think it might guide you in some interesting directions. Here is the syllabus: http://jasonfarman.com/amst628n/course-syllabus/ My undergraduate version of this course was called "Hacking Social Space": http://jasonfarman.com/dcc106/ I'd especially like to encourage you to think about including mobile, locative, and pervasive computing for your course. In that regard, I have a chapter in *Mobile Interface Theory* that might be useful: http://mobileinterfacetheory.com/ch-2/ I'd love to see your syllabus once it's completed! Would you mind sending it my way?

Dear AoIR colleagues
I am looking for inspiration for a course titled “Media Spaces”, offered in the framework of a BA (Hons), Media, Culture and Society.
This module aims to develop a theoretical understanding of the complex and overlapping spaces in which media are produced and consumed as well as understand the spaces that these media create.
I appreciate any help regarding good websites, sources, syllabi or textbooks containing case studies.
Is anyone teaching something similar who wants to get in touch to exchange ideas?
This is a provisional list of module contents
Introduction to Media and Space
Theoretical approaches to space and place
Consuming global television locally
Folding spaces: globalisation and live event television
Cyberspace and the virtual: the rise of spatial metaphors
The Internet and online spaces
Videogames as space, place and world.
Best regards
Massimo Ragnedda
