[Air-L] Text suggestion(s): Computer Mediated Communication

[Federico Monaco]

Hi Steve,
I would suggest a hands on part developing collaborative activities on Moodle, for instance; that would take students to learn by use and by solving problems related to the subject itself.

However, I will, via text or other material, want to expose the students to the "workings" of some CMC.   That might be participating in self help groups on Face Book or Yahoo Groups, developing a Blog with Word Press, editing articles on Wikipedia or even doing some simple HTML coding.  So, in addition to textbook ideas, I'd love additional ideas for projects and exercises.
