Really, with this class and the earlier mentioned Berkeley class on Participatory Media, it promises to be a fascinating ride the coming time in terms of re-thinking how classes ought to be taught. Here’s to more classes that enable thinking outside the box!

Good to see you found my blog =P I absolutely agree..I think it's terrible that syllabi are becoming more private, and I actually think I know the reason why: some professors are actually afraid of being judged by their peers. But yes. MIT's OpenCourseWare also sets a great example for open syllabi, and I really hope other top universities (ahem) will follow suit soon =) Hey Lok! Good to see you found my blog =P
