Thanks for sharing J...Broken record is fine Alan :)<br />Thanks for sharing Jim's video (this one has escaped me). Sadly I've seen several course objectives written with specific books and theories in mind - this seems counter productive to me (and bad for learners). Maybe time to be an educational troublemaker...eerrrr..... I mean "educational disruptor" again ;-)Apostolos K.

I am by no means an ID, but that seems a rather questionable design. Maybe your students could take that on.<br /><br />I am going to be a broken record, but this interview with Jim Groom touches a lot of ideas around course design that is not the same old thing in new clothes<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_1ONj1vFBk<br /><br />He and his colleague have been teaching a course on internet history that turns the regular course structure inside out. There are official objectives and such but the course is shaped by an opening process of students doing a literature review and they define the topics of the course (a strategy Mike Wesch has done many times)<br /><br />http://bavatuesdays.com/the-internet-course/<br /><br />and see the current iteration of the course<br /><br />http://theinternetcourse.net/<br /><br />Heck what if you made the class revolved around a redesign of the class?<br /><br />And there's nothing wrong with bringing in experts via hangouts, but I admit I have grown a bit weary of these where the students are relegated to the cheap seat views. Why not engage the students to be hosts, directors, managers of the series? <br /><br />I'm eager to see what you do, these are just out of the practicalr ange ideas.Apostolos K.
