The course mechanics
Eduzendium courses need a number of help pages in order to function properly within the Citizendium. This course homepage and all its standard subpages have been set up with the standard names in their standard location: A template article to prefill the students's pages with course-specific formatting and content, a template for the metadata of your course's article, and a note informing other Citizens whether they are allowed to edit your course's pages or not. Please modify these pages as you see fit. If you are done, you can delete the whole section The course mechanics from your course homepage.
Project Description
This Eduzendium project is the first of four components of a multi-genre research and writing project (described in full here). In addition to writing encyclopedia articles about individual interest groups, POL 214 students will write opinion essays that use their peers' encyclopedia articles as a research springboard, letters to the editor that respond to their peers' opinion essays, and compositions that reflect on their research and writing process. Grant funding to develop this project was provided by the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology at Illinois State University.
practice for a lifetime of quickly researching new technologies, plus exploring the ramifications of being out on the web (i.e., not anonymous).
Students will collaborate in small groups to write an article on an "emerging technology" topic (to be pre-approved by the instructors). The article will reside permanently in Citizendium, an expert-led wiki similar to Wikipedia, but where authors and editors use their real names. Groups will present their results to the class at the end of the course. Training will be provided on using the Penn library, which includes "deep web" references such as academic journals, patent searches, and business surveys
What We'll Be Working On
The following is a list of articles that the members of POL 214 will be working on during the Summer II 2010 semester (July and early August). These articles will be closed to editing by other citizens until after the conclusion of the course, though we'd appreciate hearing any comments or suggestions you might have on their respective talk pages.
For each of the articles you plan to have your students work on, please add a line of the form {{r_EZ|Title of your course's article 1}}, which will display as
- Title of your course's article 1 [r]: Add brief definition or description
