[Air-L] Internet Policy undergraduate class

[Heather Ford]

I’m about to start teaching a class on Internet Policy for third year undergraduate students at the School of Media and Communication, Leeds University today. Last year, we dipped our toes into using a class hashtag https://twitter.com/hashtag/intpolicyleeds?src=hash to send current news relating to Internet policy issues to one another using the hashtag. This year, I’m going to try to extend it a bit more by tweeting the folks we’re readings in class and by encouraging students more directly to contribute. I have helped teach similar classes at other universities in the past and I was wondering whether there was anyone on the list right now who is about to teach something similar who may want to work with us on this. I thought it might be fun if there was another class in another part of the world also contributing to the hashtag.

On another note, if you do teach a similar class, I’d be super interested in compiling reading lists/curricula/handbooks, so please ping me offlist and I’ll share the result back to the list if there is interest.

Best,
Heather.
