Wiki
We would like our course website to be much more than just a place you go to get information. We’d like you to participate in building it and building our course community. We’ll be using our course Wiki to make this possible. Until someone changes it, our Wiki will have four main areas to it:
- The Community Pages
- These are free form pages that are for YOU to design and add content to. We will not be structuring these pages specifically so that you can build the web environment for our class that you want to have available to you. And yes, we mean YOU, whether you are a law student, an extension student, or an at-large participant.
- The Weeks Pages
- Groups of 5 law school students will be responsible for maintaining a page for each week the course. These pages will be a respository of as much useful information and discussion about that week’s topic as possible. They will at least contain a detailed discussion of the readings for that week, a link to the lecture videos from that week once they are available, and class notes from that week. They will hopefully also contain much more. Although everyone else is invited to participate in these pages, the law students responsible for a particular week will take the lead on these pages in much the same way that authors take primary responsibility for Wikipedia articles in which they have a particular interest.
- The Extension School Pages
- Project groups from the Extension School part of the class will be developing Wiki pages for their class projects in this area of the wiki.
- The At-Large Pages
- People participating in the class who are not enrolled in either the Law School or the Extension School will have the opportunity to do the project for the course collaboratively with other at-large participants throught this part of the Wiki. Here we will post the raw materials that could provide a beginning for any number of interesting media creation and distribution projects. We invite the at-large participants to work on these projects, either in a long-term concerted way or by contributing a small piece to a larger collaborative project. Your contribution could be writing a small script for a radio piece, recording a radio or video piece, working on distribution, reviewing and commenting on the work of others, or anything you think would help push the projects forward. We are enthusiastically awaiting your creativity!
Please visit the Wiki and create an account for yourself so that you can begin building it!
