Open source education & New Journalism
Dear AoIRers, A colleague and I recently started teaching in a course called "Content is King". Our focus lies on the effects of the digital revolution on the future of on line publishing and on line journalism. Together with our students we are starting up a small experiment on open source-education. The outlines of the course can be found on a Wiki-page which, of course, can be edited by anyone. Topics dealt with: I. Tools & History II. "Gatekeepers no more" III. From conversation to construction IV. "We the media" V. Trust - credibility - objectivity - ethics VI. Power to the people You can find the wiki-page on http://cmdstud.khlim.be/~niels/newjournalism/ . I have two questions for you: - what is your experience with "open source"-experiments? - As we want to tap into your knowledge and/or experience: can you provide new articles which deepen or broaden the scope of the topics? Maybe you can point us towards a still uncovered domain? Thanks in advance, Niels Hendriks www.c-md.be / niels.hendriks@mda.khlim.be Design & Media Academy, Katholieke Hogeschool Limburg Tel. +32(0)476 24 29 45/ Fax. +32(0)89 30 08 59

I've used some concepts of open source in my classroom (and am working on more now). <shameless plug>You may be interested in a piece I co-authored on the many parallels between and advantages of Open Source as a model for academic classroom work and textual production.
