Alan describes an open seminar on new media - "not everything that there is like a Massively Online Open Course, but doing the same readings, watching the same videos, and then we will have both the Baylor group and anyone else following along from afar engage in discussions in an online shared space." This week looking at such works as As We May Think, the famous 1945 essay by Vannevar Bush, published in The Atlantic. It occurs to me as I read this (and this is not a criticism of the course) that some of these seminal works would profit from a twelve-week read, not a one-week read. It's pretty easy to breeze through an essay in a week, but a longer and broader look would tease out why it's important.
