Thanks for pointing out that there was a lack of dialogue in the first place!

Ann Dixon, Prof. Dalke, and I are working collaboratively to try and figure out other ways to get conversation going for alums (since you can't come to class) and we have been throwing a few ideas together. Having class notes online is one of the ways (and we're glad that it's working for you). Another idea is having podcasts of the lecture (where you would also hear student input) online and I believe that the today's class was the first to be recorded. I think that would be a really good addition to the class notes. Another is perhaps having a webchat between alums (and undergrads if they want to join in) about the readings...which in a way would simulate going to class and discussing readings. Do you have any ideas?? We'd really love to hear them.

As far as the tech stuff goes, I emailed Ann and I'm sure that she'll be able to send you better directions about blog stuff than I could. Also, you are able to read their papers and respond (along with technically the world).

Hope this helps,
