| Welcome
to NCLC 249, Internet
Literacy for Spring 2004. The subject of study is major aspects of the
Internet - Web publishing, evaluating Web sources, investigating
virtual
communities and online communication, becoming knowledgeable about
copyright
and the Internet, and other major Internet issues. We will discuss some
basic hypertext theory, and do a significant amount of reading, writing
and critiquing. Much of your course work will be published on your
course
Web site. Please review the information on all of the links for a full
description of the course and relevant information, and the syllabus
for
this section.
Participation:
The
sharing of talent, knowledge, ideas, and questions is an important
element
of a community of learners; therefore, active participation is
required.
This includes attendance and engagement in discussion, both in class
and
electronically. You are expected to come to class having read the
material
and having completed all course work due when that class meets. (Always
bring your course work on a disk when you come to class.)
Quality
of work, not just
completing it, determines the grade you earn on assignments. You
will
be allowed to revise some of your written work (You will be notified
which
ones are revisable.) with revision due dates. Here are the guidelines
for revision. I will not reevaluate revisions if these
guidelines
have not been met.
