<\/a>Note Passing During Class<\/p><\/div>\n
What these classes Provided<\/h3>\n
In addition to organizing the class, the face to face meetings provided a space where members of the class could voice their discomforts with things that were happening. The primary area where people were having discomfort was in role definition and primary goal of the course. Due to the free form nature of the class as well as the diversity of perspectives, there were also many side conversations that voiced desires for some type of syllabus provided by Cathy that would allow the class to be “on the same page”.<\/p>\n
High-Tech<\/h3>\n
The class meetings were very tech friendly. Every one in attendance came with either a laptop or an iPad, and Smart Phones. We also had access to the internet which allowed us to create something of a real time private class stream when necessary.<\/p>\n
Low-Tech<\/h3>\n
When it came time to nail things down having tangible things was infinitely more helpful and often times more fun.\u00a0Despite the tech heaviness of the class, the things we found most valuable were low tech tools and practices, from the use of white boards and post it notes on presentation boards, to the low-tech backchannel (a.k.a. note passing).<\/p>\n
Visitors<\/h3>\n
Due to the nature of the class, being the first of its kind, etc, we were also put in many abnormal class situations involving visitors. \u00a0As we were prepping to leave for Drumbeat we had four different visitors (most from HASTAC but also some visiting professors from other Universities), and two different film crews for various companies from the region in addition to my little raspberry camera. \u00a0While I didn’t mind the visitors, class conversations later let me know that some of my classmates did find the visitors to be distracting.<\/p>\n
My Role in the Face to Face meetings<\/h3>\n
As a member of the class, I would participate in the discussion and provide my input. I also sat with my camera and smart pen and recorded the sessions for this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The First Day of Class The building is a recently converted former tobacco warehouse, complete with that wonderful, slightly chemical smell that can only be found in new construction. We head down a corridor around a corner to the open concept cafe space.
