Today's discussion of produsage is going to be collaborative (how appropriate -right?)

The class will work in 4 groups - who will each give a brief presentation on the main points of (one of) the following:

1. Defining produsage = differences from producation

2. Preconditions for produsage

3. Key principles of produsage

4. Impacts and implications

Then we are going to look at Bruns web presence + sites relevant to this work, including:

http://produsage.org/ Bruns site for the book

http://www.ning.com/ = create a social networking site

http://snurb.info/net => software for creating social networking sites


We will also take a look at some examples/products of produsage = open source software open source software. open office, & audacity.

We will spend the rest of class (if there is any time left) talking about your hypertext projects & discussing the plan of work to develop them.

For Monday:
Post Blog 10: Begin work on developing a research plan for your hypertext essay.

Read: Chapters 1 - 3 in Johnson-Eilola, and think about what kind of site will fit with the essay you will be writing for your hypertext essay project.
