So I'm thinking about Howard Rheingold's 'Mind Amplifiers' course (the idea that the net 'amplifies' is the new vogue right now; c.f. 'event amplification'), a little bit about whether I want to take it, but more about whether I could charge $100 a head and get 30 people to sign up for five weeks. Because, you know, that would be a good back-up plan for the day the government cuts the NRC from its budget. Though it would change the demographics of the course in a bad way. I was also wondering about the Social Media Classroom, which is just a Drupal mod, and I think gRSShopper is more purpose-built (and I promise I will release new (better, more likely to work for you) gRSShopper code the first week of 2011). But the main thing that I can't get out of my head is, I really like Rheingold and all, but why is he charging money? He's a university professor, he's already pulling it in.
