a little context please. are these your lecture notes from class? if so, is this an undergraduate or graduate class? how many students are in this class? do you just broadcast these slides and your lecture or do students have an opportunity to converse about these ideas?
thanks for posting them, btw - that takes a ton of labor.
David, Yes, these are Trebor's notes/slides from class. It's a mixed class of undergrads and grads. There's around 30 students, around 10 of us are graduates.
The class discusses the slides during the lecture/presentation; it's quite 'enlightening.' I enjoy the class very much because it basically covers anything I've ever wanted to know about the Internet and social media.
The class has 17 grads and 30 undergraduate students; it's a large lecture-type class about the Social Web. The group meets twice a week and the syllabus is at http://www.collectivate.net/the-social-web/
One day I usually dedicate to a formal lecture and the other is completely open to reflect on the presentation, ask questions and interact.
At the end of next week I'll publish a history of the Social Web here and on the list. There is really hardly anything out there that gives an historical overview not based solely on an entrepreneurial or merely techno-scientific perspective. There are, however, valuable case studies such as those in Geert Lovink's Dark Fiber and Atton's Alternative Internet.
