Hi AoIR, Polina, Joan, Jessika, Barry and friends, I'm going to postpone teaching this "social history of the internet course" course this autumn due to class size - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html . But it looks like I'll be assisting / co-teaching this other open "Tourism, Art and Modernity" course using these same "classroom" technologies, namely Harvard's virtual island in SL and Google group video Hangouts, here https://www.academia.edu/s/19ac1100ab beginning later this autumn, if anyone is interested (see, too: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/09/crab-tourism-studies-and-virtual.h... ). I'll also be developing the "Information Technology, the Network Society, and the Global University ~ Course & Syllabus" web page in terms of the global university component with time, including adding online "global university" talks and readings and Hangout opportunities. In preparing to donate CC World University and School to CC Wikidata, WUaS is hopefully moving from Wikia to Wikidata e.g. here Internet Studies - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Internet_Studies - soonish.

Dear AoIR colleagues (and Polina, Joly, Christian, Joan and Jessika and friends),

I'm writing to let you know of the open free online course and syllabus I'm beginning to teach here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html . This course will meet on Saturdays beginning tomorrow thru 12/12 from 11am-1 pm Pacific Time (California time), in the first hour in Google + group video Hangouts from here - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts - and in the second hour on Harvard's virtual island in Second Life (both for interactivity and conversation). I've also added other talks in video I've given about this social history of the internet this course and syllabus web page too.

Best, Scott
