Crowdsourcing (part of) a syllabus…

I’ll be teaching a new course this coming spring term (2012) on digital ethnography (with a likely, but somewhat bland, title of Digital Ethnography). As a methods course preceding the establishment of a new media & culture graduate certificate, I’m thinking it iwill attend to at least two areas under the “digital ethnography” heading: doing ethnographic work using digital tools, and doing ethnographic work in the digital domain.

Barring a few reading options, this is as far as I’ve gotten in the planning. I am seeking comments and input from students (potential or otherwise) about what else the course might take on. So, please post comments here with suggested readings, methodological issues, tools you are curious about (or have used)—in short, anything that you’d love to see in a class of this sort. In that I’m imagining this class to be a collaborative experiment in general, having at least part of the syllabus co-authored/crowdsourced is fine first step in my mind. And I’ll certainly credit any/all contributions that I end up using!

Media Management Praxis course blog

I’ve started setting up the course blog through which I’ll run the Media Management Praxis course this winter term (2010). The blog can be found here. Please feel free to poke around in the blog, but I’ll warn you now that it is not fully populated. I’ll get more up as we move toward the beginning of the term, especially with regards to content related to the first few weeks of the class. For those of you enrolled in the course, be aware that there are some readings to do for the first meeting connected to our guest for that day, Richard Herskowitz. As of right now, I’ve set up a password-protected page for all readings (to maintain ‘fair use’ on copyrighted materials), but I’ll get a post up with links to the readings Richard has recommeded since they are all online articles anyway.
