Another way of sharing syllabi and teaching resources
Several years ago, Julie Wilson and I started a Wordpress-based website, www.teachingmedia.org <http://www.teachingmedia.org>to create a space for media studies instructors to share syllabi and teaching resources such as suggested readings, links to useful video material, in-class exercises and assignments. This format isn't as useful as a wiki for compiling large reading lists (so I don't mean to propose this as a replacement for the Air_L wiki), but it has some advantages for sharing teaching material in other ways. It's been relatively easy to maintain and because only registered users can post, we've been able to contain the spam. It also makes it easy to organize teaching topics in ways that are categorized, taggable, and give way to threaded discussions of particular readings, assignments, etc. I encourage any on this list to contribute teaching material l they've found especially stimulating and try out the site as a resource for ideas. It's all based on a peer-to-peer open model of collaborative teaching and it's growing slowly but steadily. -- Anthony Nadler Assistant Professor of Media and Communication Studies Ursinus College
