Some
brief notes on listserv and teaching
-
Grading for this course
-
20% Assignments - each assignment must be completed by the beginning of
the following class (see schedule). Late assignments
will penalized.
-
10% Quizes - A few in-class quizzes will be given; most will be related
to the reading assignments.
-
10% Class (and e-mail) Participation - I expect the class to use e-mail
to help address issues and problems as well as to create community of interest.
There will be a class mailing list for this purpose. At the first meeting
we will decide whether to use hypermail or to use a closed listserv. Unexcused
absences will result in a reduction of your final grade.
-
40% Major Project - (see project)
-
20% Final Exam
The
UNC Honor Code will be followed through out this course.~~
Project:
The class projects will meet the following standards to receive a C,
be excellent example of at least 3 of them to be awarded a B, and go imaginatively
beyond them to receive an A.
-
Local content and presentation - Material of substance and of valuable
content should be made easily accessible and navigable by wise and appropriate
use of technology.
-
Using Internet resources - Projects should link to and appropriately acknowledge
other information resources on the Internet that relate to the project.
-
Creating and developing interactivity - Projects should use forms of interactivity
such as Mail-in forms, scripts, hypermail , IRC, listserv, etc. to help
create and foster an interactive community of readers/listeners/viewers
-
Publicizing your publication/cybercast
- Projects should be appropriately advertised (no SPAMMING) to existing
Internet interest groups including net-happenings, what's new and subject
related news and mailing lists. Additionally projects should seek the attention
of traditional media as is appropriate. Creating an event, special conference,
using new technology or using existing technology in a new way will help
you in this last effort.
-
Keeping it legal (not optional) - Projects must comply as much as possible
with existing laws regarding copyright, broadcast rights, trademark, etc.
If you are probing a legal gray area, include links that refer to the laws
involved. See
the Multimedia Law Handbook
-
Journalistic and/or Scholarly publications (optional) - For graduate students
especially, it would be wise to write an article for publication concerning
your experiences and insights and problems in creating your publication/cybercast.

EXAM to be announced
Misc. but important
-
No food, drink or smoking in the class; we're around expensive (to me)
computer equipment.
-
Show up on time for class, particularly when we have a speaker scheduled.
-
Our partners for our Major Projects are giving us a great opportunity to
see what it is like to move from print, radio, or from a museum into cyberspace;
treat their material and any non-disclosure requests from them with utmost
respect.
-
In general, act like responsible adults, even if you aren't quite there
yet.
