This course is composed of three requirements, two projects (P1 & P2) and participation listed in the chart on the right. Each requirement will be on-going throughout the semester, will require regular contributions, and may be comprised of various assignments. Each of these requirements must be successful in order to pass the course.
Wikipedia Contribution (P1)
This project has you writing a new Wikipedia article from scratch or making significant contributions an existing one—work equivalent to a 10-page research paper. These contributions will correspond to the books we’re reading for class and to those we’ll be teaching.
Teaching the Text (P2)
This project will have you team-teaching the text you will be researching and writing about on Wikipedia. A sign-up sheet will be passed around during the first week of class.
Participation
Active participation in the classroom is required. Your daily work and attendance represents your participation, e.g.: reading, discussions, training, exercises, library tasks, reading quizzes, peer editing, the viewing of a film, and similar activities. Your participation in group activities and your preparation for class will be weighed heavily in evaluation: participation, effort, and attitude count significantly. You should not sit in class like you’re watching TV: learning requires active participation and enthusiasm . Participation grades cannot be made up.
 | Students must complete all assignments in each of the three requirements above to successfully pass the course. |
Required Texts
- Jenkins, Henry (2008). Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide. New York: NYU Press.
- Murray, Janet H. (1997). Hamlet on the Holodeck: the Future of Narrative in Cyberspace. New York: Simon & Schuster.
- Negroponte, Nicholas (1996). Being Digital. New York: Vintage.
