Mon 1 Feb



Fri 5 Feb

- No face to face meeting. Online exercise on the wiki, leading to Monday and Wednesday consideration of WritingOnAWiki.

Friday Exercise 5 Feb - Sun 7 Feb

Wikis change the postions of writer and reader - as blogs do but more so. But even more, they alter how writing gets written, making drafting more public, slowing down revision, and adding an aspect to writing: refactoring. More than traditionally, wikis demand that writers share a common sense of the material process, and a shared idea of how the text will be worked with.

Become familiar with the shared processes of writing on a wiki. Read the StyleGuide, and the pages linked from that page: ThreadMode, DocumentMode, and RefactoringPages.

Read also Wide Open Spaces: Wikis Ready or Not by Brian Lamb.

Then visit our page titled WideOpenSpaces and start and add to the ThreadMode discussion. You might also contribute to some of the topics already started.

You task is to become familiar with the conversation we've been having on this wiki for the past few years, and to find a place or topic to enter and add to. Post at least once. Better to return later and post a second time. Or post to other topics. If you post to other topics, keep track of those topics.

The discussants are students in this class past and present. You have nothing to fear.


Mon 8 Feb

Everyone should have read the materials and posted to the wiki at least once. These exercises are part of your grade.
