The syllabus (Word file) is available for the course on Digital Journalism I will teach at Stanford, Winter Quarter, 2006. Enrollment for credit will be capped at 15 students. Others will be able to sit in as space allows. Among other experiments, I will attempt to use PowerPoint properly, as a visual storytelling adjunct, not as a repository for boring bulletpoints. And I will attempt to make use of a richly media-equipped classroom. Each enrolled student will be expected to blog, comment on others’ blogs, and to create or edit a Wikipedia entry.

I have sat through thousands of Microsoft PowerPoint presentations in the past decade and created a couple hundred of my own.
I think the whole world is open to learning how to use PowerPoint properly. I live in Seattle and I think that most of us won’t be able to commute to Stanford for the twice a week classes.
You’ve already posted the syllabus. Why not just blog the whole class? Post your PPT’s and other presentations. Post your class notes. Those of us in the blogosphere could just audit it!

Robert — If I wasn’t up to my ears in figuring out how to teach my first solo 4 credit college class (last year’s Literacy of Cooperation was mostly guest lectures, and my one-credit class for UC Berkeley this fall was co-taught), I would definitely blog the entire class publicly. The problem with the PPT is that I don’t have the time and money to clear all the permissions on all the images I use. I figure it’s fair use to display an image during a lecture, but not to publish it without permission. I have 9 registrations — 6 slots still open.
