  • Before you knew it, I was addicted to the blog, checking it multiple times a day and posting more and more, either with comments or my own posts. This blogging element works: it turned a cynic like me into a true believer, and I even started to enjoy reading platonic texts. And the reason for this road to Damascus conversion was that the blog is a 21st century equivalent of what Socrates was doing over two thousand years ago: organic dialectic. The very nature of the course encourages this online, expanding the class outside of the one hour and fifteen minutes classes twice a week. It's impossible to have this sort of conversation without the blog.
  • This format can be quite disconcerting for students at first - in fact it probably alienated a minority of the class - but the overwhelming majority of students found it engaging, and those intimidated at first eventually came to embrace it. It takes students out of their comfort zone, a necessity to truly participate in the dialectic. My own views were challenged and I even changed my mind, most notably my dislike for philosophy classes. And this was achieved through a blogging cooperative community, one that went beyond online and into real life.

  • The model is based on two insights:Learning is social and so it is most effectively pursued in communities of education in which teachers and students are actively engaged together.Social media technologies are transforming education because they are able to open dynamic communities of learning between teachers and students.The power of new social media technologies for education lies not in the information they deliver, but the communities they can create.

  • He never presented himself as a guy who has all the answers (though I suspect he has a better grasp on them than we do). Instead, he encouraged us to work TOGETHER -- teacher and student -- to discover the truth. In fact, he took it a step further and actually let us AUTHOR our own textbook -- that is, he trusted us enough to let us control the blog. As a student, this sort of trust motivates you to live up to expectations. It's actually a lot of pressure ("he expects us to partially direct the class ourselves? Well jeez we better make this interesting...")

    "But the professor isn't some noble, sitting up in the stands and looking on impassively, they are just as stuck in our struggle as we are. While beneficial to the professor (as has already been explained in recent comments), this is similarly beneficial to the students. By seeing the professor struggle with the material, attempting to come to grips with it by the student's guiding, the students learn ways to approach unforeseen problems. Instead of copying the motions of the master and getting by on technical knowledge of very specific occurrences, they learn where those techniques came from, and can carry that ability with them when a new instance is faced.

    Enter Comm110, better known as Media and Democracy: a 300 person general education course, taught by Professor Michael Elavsky, which explores the role that the media plays in shaping our impressions of politics in our world.  As you might imagine, any substantial current event could demand class coverage and discussion.  But how do you facilitate discussion in one of the most intimidating venues imaginable for your average college freshman?
