I'm starting to work on a 400 level (senior) undergraduate seminar for the spring focused on non-commercial uses for multimedia. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to use Rich Media Poor Democracy as one of the texts (the one that "establishes the nature of the problem") . . . but I'm not having much luck finding the "and here's what we can do about it with new media" text for the other side of the equation. Any suggestions? Our students are very very practical . . . the program itself is a production major at a comprehensive institution . . . the students aren't very well positioned for "critical theory." I'm looking for practical ways to leverage what we do with web/cd/dvd authoring as positive contributions to our culture as opposed to only showing students how to make stuff that works in commercial products and projects. thanks for any suggestions.
