HOPR010: Books to Bytes:  The Information Industry and Exchange of Ideas

This class is one of ten Honors Program Seminars at a Jesuit university in Milwaukee, WI. As part of the curriculum, we study the transfer of information from the time the printing press was created through present day. We have a pbwiki website that unites the class as one. We are currently learning about Wikipedia, including how to create a site. Class meets every Monday from 3:00-4:15 p.m. in a building full of books. During the course of the class, we will learn about blogs, wikis, and problems associated with online content. Students are assigned outside reading and classwork, but are graded on a pass/fail basis. Class members include Katie, Brian, Brandon, Mary Beth, Michael, Brenda, Robert and Stu. We are breaking the rules by creating this site, but it is just an experiment as part of the curriculum.
