"Plato initiated our negative view of the written word by arguing that writing was merely an imitation of speech... while speech was an imitation of thought. Thus writing would be an imitation of an imitation."
Andrew Feenberg: The written world.

Monday, December 6

so, what's your topic?

So that I don't forget what I am supposed to be doing, here is the topic:

"We intend to compare the more 'private' personal communication that a blog implies, with the more public open forum that something like a discussion board encourages (in a learning context obviously!). However, we both dislike the WebCT discussion board, so we're going to try using a wiki instead. We intend to simultaneously conduct joint discussions on the relative merits of each form of communication in the wiki, and each keep a private weblog too over the course of around 3 weeks-ish. The wiki and the weblogs will make up the greater part of our assignment, but at the end of our few weeks we will get together and write a summary piece on a webpage which aims to pull all the strands together."

The wiki is: http://amandava.swiki.net/1
A-M's blog is: http://amsuniblog.blogspot.com/
