      This is really a great idea and one that I will keep in mind as my course evolves. I really enjoy writing myself and watching students write creatively, so this might be something I'd want to incorporate into my course eventually.
  • Reading the stories and articles as assigned and participating in discussion of these works is the center of our exploration.

  • The requirements to receive an A are harder to quantify, but they include more sophistication and grace in the writing, lively storytelling, and prose that approaches publishable quality.

      Seems a little vague...perhaps a rubic would help students to understand how to get the "A"

      This is a really good idea. It helps to have notes to refer back to when you're going through the writing process, especially if it's the first time you've done it.

  • What Makes a Short Story
    • Donna Angley
      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      I like this "introduction" to what makes a short story. I did something very similar in my course, so I feel like I'm on the right track.

      I hadn't thought about a group project for my course; however, after reading about these students writing and publishing a short story, it got me thinking. I was originally going to have my students do a final paper comparing two stories. Then I decided I wanted to do something different and a bit more collaborative. After seeing this website, I started to think about a group project more seriously. Then I thought I'd like it to be a little more hand-on like this course, and so it has morphed into a final group project where they can decided to either write a short story or create a multi-media presentation of a short story we've read. This website got me thinking about the project from the students' perspective. Giving them the choice to write or use multi-media is a better idea and will get the creative juices flowing. It also puts them more in control of what they want to do creatively.

      I too included this story in my course. For those of you that might not know, Alice Walker is the author of "The Color Purple."
  • A Good Man is Hard To Find."

      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      Again, I also included this particular story in my course. Flannery O'Connor has written many short stories, but this one is probably a "classic" within the genre.
  • Usage of Point of View
    • Donna Angley
      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      Point of view is the first thing a writer has to think about when preparing to write. Depending on the point of view, what is written and how it is written will be very different.

      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      This is an exaggerated account of the actual post pardom depression that the author suffered from after the birth of her daughter. Again, a classic short story that I have included in my course also under "point of view."
  • To Build a Fire Faulkner

      I love that they too included this story. As you read it, you can't help but wonder how Jack London manages to keep describing his surroundings, which really don't change. He's a master.
  • Workshop
    • Donna Angley
      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      I like that there is a workshop component to this course, where it appears that students will go through the process of writing a short story. It also looks as if they might publish as well, or at least go through the process of publishing so that students can attempt to publish in the future.
  • Discussion of Getting Published in the Real World
    • Donna Angley
      Donna Angley on 16 Jul 11
       
      Excellent resource for those students who are seriously looking at writing for a living.
  • Donna Angley on 07 Jul 11
     
    This class will focus on the craft of the short story, which we will explore through reading great short stories, writers speaking about writing, writing exercises and conducting workshops on original stories.

  • Wikipedia and other social networking sites provide a space or platform upon which all kinds of activities can flourish, with the idea of a platform transcending any particular technology or application and referring to either virtual or physical worlds. Collaboration among many users upon such a platform often produces unplanned and emergent
  • results—results frequently unattainable in a command-and-control management setting
  • the logic of commons-based peer production, and the logic of platform management transform the idea of the university and the very activities—teaching and learning, research, and publishing—that lie at the heart of this enterprise

  • But at its heart, the university was born to provide a structure to govern the student-teacher relationship.
  • development of Wikiversity (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page), an initiative from the Wikimedia Foundation
  • materials are produced by Wikiversity participants, who are, like their counterparts in Wikipedia, motivated volunteers. In addition, the Wikiversity course materials, unlike those made available by MIT, are editable by users

      This is a great analogy-we have our kids waiting in line to have them produce cookie-cutter results..
  • In contrast, a sandbox conjures up images of unstructured, unplanned, emergent play that is determined by the players. Imagine a university organized and managed like a sandbox, where teachers and students are invited to play and create in an unstructured environment—or, rather, in an environment structured by their own actions, choices, and decisions.
  • Concerns would surely be raised about the quality of these credentials, similar to the debates about the quality of the articles in Wikipedia
  • To what degree will such informal learning and “credentialing by reputation” be legitimated and accepted by society?
  • emerge from the decisions, the edits, the additions, and the deletions of a number of people, all bound by the rules and protocols of Wikipedia
  • The wiki-ized university will probably not displace the traditional university but will likely exist alongside it, albeit in direct competition.
