But the truth is this is the area of my teaching that I think *most* needs help–or at least more experience. Sometimes, the discussions work quite well, sometimes they fall flat, and I need to figure out ways of doing more of the former than the latter.

The in-person section. (How’d 501 work out in the online version?) Great fun. Well, that and tons of work, too. But some actual entertainment happening, too.

Of course, when it comes to the new media, isn’t that what we’re seeing as a general human behavior? Take something given, tear it apart, and trick it out how you like it/put your own personal stamp on it. Your classes just facilitate that kind of behavior in an enforced learning pattern. Here’s the bulk of the materials. Here’s the point of focus given. Now take it, take it apart, repurpose it in a way that’s meaningful to your own life and experience, and present it back in its new incarnation for the edification of the rest of us. ¡Viva la revolución collaborativa!

Anyway, anyone who has the chance to take one of Alex’s in-person seminars, I highly recommend it. He’s a great discussion facilitator, and the classes tend to be rewarding.
