Wiki

I am going to create a Wiki and post my syllabus there. I will also post class notes, background information on the readings, and useful URLs on this site. But I also had two great ideas about the class Wiki:
  • I will start discussion forums about our readings and expect the students to participate.
  • I will also create a page where we can create a class story where everyone contributes to the story. They can even blog their writing experiences on their personal blogs.
I think this will engage them intimately with digital texts. Let's see what I can prepare until the class starts.

That may be a good idea, which is what i will do in my Public Speaking class. But my worry with this class is that it is only 8 weeks, actually only 5.5 weeks with Thanksgiving and all the rest deducted. So not sure I have the time to add this as an assignment.
But in my Public Speaking class, I will have them research an article and correct it if they find any mistakes. So, in this class I have learned to scale everything down.
