Prof Wesch at Kansas State University describes how he runs his class. It’s an excellent read. I have one of his talks under the ICT Theories & Info page listed above.

How our class works: First off, we organize it as a research group, not a class. So, instead of a syllabus we have a research schedule. The research schedule is editable at any time by anybody involved in the project. All edits are (almost) instantly reported at our Netvibes research hub via RSS. The hub also includes a Yahoo Pipe combining the feeds from each of the 15 students’ blogs. There is a second Yahoo Pipe that combines all the comment feeds from those blogs as well. To the right, we have a feed from our Diigo group, which we use to share links and notes on the web. The course is entirely purpose-driven, so it does not have much of the traditional structure typically provided by a syllabus, but it is (loosely) structured.

Brilliant! Read the full post here.

From WE magazine:

How do WE learn in the age of the web? Michael Wesch, known for his YouTube videos “A Vision of Students Today” and “The Machine is Us/ing Us“, talks about anti-teaching and harnessing collective intelligence in his class. He is one of the U.S. Professors of the Year and it was great to have the chance to talk to him!

They discuss collaboration, posing inquiring questions and building and sharing class resources through wikis and blogs. Worth the 10 mins. to watch. If you like what you hear, I have more of his stuff under the “ICT Theories and Info” page.
