[Air-L] Casual tutor required, Digital Culture, U of Newcastle Australia

[Marj Kibby]

Hi all,

For my sins I have been seconded to a full time position improving the student experience. So I'm looking for someone to teach Digital Culture - a third year course in the BA that has students from a wide range of programs taking it as an elective.

As taught in 2010 it has three modules.

  Module 1 The Information Revolution 
  Module 2 Produsers, Creativity and Remix Culture   
  Module 3 Social Networks & Online Communities 

Students undertake tasks relevant to the module.
Set up an annotated bibliography in Delicious; edit specific Wikipedia pages; Post images to Flickr, download a classmates images and manipulate and re-post them; and so on.

They then read related material and discuss the process in an online forum.

Three assessible items:
Contribution to the discussion
A research project
A production project using free online tools.


As the course is online the tutor would not need to be located in Newcastle. However being able to have one or two f2f meetings would be an advantage.

If interested please contact me privately marj.kibby at newcastle.edu.au

Regards,
Marj
