Niels, It looks like you are correctly casting a wide net. Here's a few more for your consideration from someone who has more of a CIS than journalistic lens: Trolls, Lurking, Click-through, Phishing, Section 508, Digital divide, Chunking vs. continuous text, Banner exchange, Google Docs, RSS, Branding, Blog, iGoogle, Artificial ad click counts, Hover ads, Popup ads, Live banner, News etymology, Online advertising. That was free association on my part and some of those might need some explaining <GRIN>. Feel free to ask why I thought they should be on your list. There's also some literature on effective web page layout which was part of the focus of my dissertation. Jakob Nielsen is a good place to start for web design -- I think Jakob doesn't publish in traditional journals because he'd rather earn money. You might also consider having the class create a web area as a group and/or individually where your students post/blog. I've not kept up with journalistic web design but Mambo comes to mind.

I wanted to create a glossary with relevant terms. I've had some interesting suggestions (from a.o. Kevin Guidry, Jay Hauben, Bertil Hatt & Martin Garthwaite. Thanks!). They told me to add: SMS Flash mob/flash crowd - both linked to the mobile-idea Meme Reddit OhMyNews e-mail listserv instant messaging newsgroup ftp - The idea is that you first learn on the 'old' technologies to fully understand the importance and impact of the new ones.
From their suggestions I did not include domain squatting (not relevant - though Kevins argument that this term serves as a starting point for a broader discussion on the importance of domain names, is relevant.); Social network Software(I think this is covered by other terms); netizen (by creating a separate term for internet users, you are in fact marginalizing the people on the internet. In my opinion 'everyone' is using the net) & the triptic Journalist / Expert / Active Reader (they are covered in a separate lesson dealing with the produser-idea).
But maybe I should include them... Any more suggestions? This is the list so far: Citizen media editor Citizen journalism Weblog Rss Mash-up Podcast Youtube Social bookmarking Web2.0 Social media Online community Folksonomy Social networking Tagging User generated content Wiki Gatekeeper vs Gatewatcher CAR Twitter Vlogging Digg/reddit OhMyNews Second Life Mobile internet ubiquitous computing privacy participative democracy reputation intellectual property rights/ creative commons smart mob flickr photoshop geotagging ftp sms e-mail listserv instant messaging newsgroup flash mob/ flash crowd meme search engine optimization/ search engine marketing __________________________________________ niels.hendriks@mda.khlim.be docent & projectmedewerker Communication & multimediadesign http://c-md.khlim.be (mob) 0032 476 24 29 45 (skype) nielshendriks Favourites: http://del.icio.us/nielshendriks LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nielshendriks __________________________________________ _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
