Hello air-l! This is my first post, so please bear with me if it's not perfect. I checked the archives and couldn't find my question answered previously, so here it goes: I am a part-time grad student in the communications field at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. I've started to have a strong interest in incorporating the study of the culture and uses of the web and web media in my degree, however, there doesn't seem to be much coursework here nor available for online study programs, by which I mean distance learning programs for credit. My degree adviser has given me free rein to locate accredited classes, but so far I've found very little. I am aware of Dr Baym's courses at the University of Kansas, as well as a few others a bit farther away, but want to be sure there is nothing closer or online before my wife and I begin considering a relocation for me to continue my studies. I realize that this field is just getting off the ground in many ways, and so schools are scrambling to catch up, but I'm really hoping to hear of some more options to consider. Thanks!

Hi Gordon, We may have a few distance classes through ODU's graduate distance program that might be of interest. Our focus is on digital culture, design/writing, and practice. We have professors whose backgrounds span communication, cultural studies, design, linguistics, professional writing, rhetoric. Over the summer, we have a doctoral institute that is taught two weeks online, two weeks in person, and two weeks online. In it, I will be teaching a seminar called Tracing Digital Culture while another professor will be teaching a seminar on new media theory. In the Fall, we have distance classes that are taught through live video streaming. I will be teaching a course on Social Media, and there will be a course on new media practices. Feel free to contact me if you want more information. Take care, Liza ______________________________________ Liza Potts, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Professional Writing Old Dominion University English Department BAL 5020 Norfolk, VA 23529 757.683.3997 AIM: LizaPotts Skype: lkpotts On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Gordon E Murray <gemurray@wichita.edu>wrote:

Gordon, We don't have a program/degree, but I do teach a graduate course in "web studies" as a distance class. <http://web.mst.edu/~rhall/webstudies/> ... Best ... Richard On 5/4/09 11:47 AM, "Gordon E Murray" <gemurray@wichita.edu> wrote:

Hi Gordon, Have you looked at the nascent World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com - (like Wikipedia with MIT OCW), particularly the MIT Open Course Ware link there? Add what you find to this wiki. It's a global, virtual, open, free, multilingual University and School in all subjects, languages, nation states and levels, - in its beginning phases. Degree- and credit- granting are potentials, and openings for innovating. Scott http://scottmacleod.com Gordon E Murray writes:
