Textbook | Tools | Resources

  • In answer to the most popular question that's been asked so far: we won't have a text for this course. Instead, we'll use internet, journal and other resources - all available online or in electronic format.
  • The course will use the RefWorks reference manager tool, some kind of social bookmarking tool (probably del.icio.us) as well as blogs and wikis. You don't have to be an expert in any of these tools. However, it's probably a good idea to know what these are before the class starts.
  • Each student will be responsible for collecting and sharing both popular and scholarly resources to share with classmates and the instructor. You might start flagging articles and links related to our topics to save for the class.
