I'm interested to see in the syllabus for the African art and culture
course that the professor has not identified what s/he expects students
to learn nor how they will demonstrate that learning, instead focusing
on what will be presented. This would not be considered adequate in my
discipline.

Subject: Example of "Social Computing" and the Conversation of Teaching

Tbers,

Social computing is defined as using computer and network technologies
to
more effectively generate knowledge, share knowledge, collaborate, learn
and
make decisions collectively.  An interesting example of social computing
and
teaching can be found at a Swarthmore College web site where a faculty
member posts his syllabus for his course on African art and culture and
receives comments and suggestions from others.  The web site can be
found
at: http://weblogs.swarthmore.edu/burke/?p=87

I've never thought to post my syllabus for comments, but can see from
this
site it could be an excellent way to improve my teaching.
