This is an extremely helpful chapter. I intend to use it carefully next week while designing a draft syllabus. I tend to leave spaces open in my traditional syllabus for readings that may be added as our conversation develops or subtracted as we come up against time constraints. My face to face students do not mind this, but I think I will need to be more disciplined about holding to a fixed syllabus in the online context. I am still thinking it all through.
