I’m teaching a Continuing Education course on Web 2.0, what it is, and why it matters.

The best summary I’ve seen of all the Web 2.0 buzzwords, and a reasonable mission statement for the course, is this pic from Wired. I’ll redraw it for the page when I get a moment.

Here’s the lecture schedule:

  • Wikipedia and the notion of radical trust
  • Blogs and the future of publishing
  • The Google empire: Storing knowledge in the cloud
  • Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook: The explosion of user-created content

Exploration of buzzwords will ensue, and I’ll be blogging each session as I run it.
