Hey, Dave:

My second try at this, probably even less useful than before because of the short timeline. Cuppla comments:

1) I’m sufficiently old school to think of other peoples’ “knowledge artifacts” as part of the network. Might be interesting to have a couple of alternative perspectives to the “community as curriculum” and associated frameworks.

2) The strong element of uncertainty inherent in this course contradicts much of what is accepted with respect to adult learning—at least as I understand it—notably clearly defined goals and outcomes. I think it would be interesting if the students’ reflections grappled with this.

Have fun! I’d guess it will be a great course and one which addresses some of the issues raised in the recent “Creativity Crisis” article in Newsweek:
