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

[Federico Monaco]

Moodle might be a choice following the spirit of OER, open source, copyleft and open access that i find much sounded when talking about knowledge transmission and sharing. I' m working a lot on this side with students and professionals in order to improve CSCW by CSCL. 

Cheers

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.
