Learning From YouTube Syllabus v2

what's sillier: a media studies class taught entirely in the media it studies,

or

recieving a nursing degree that gives you certification to work over dying people in a hospice that you recieved from an online class without any practical training?

a sad example of populism, academics that will fail. simply sad...

FAIL.
Try better next time. ;)

it's ironic that the best this supposed youtube expert could do, was make a video of a piece of paper.

I'm not sure the best use of YouTube is reading a syllabus? How about "illustrating" the syllabus with a catchy video? Or showing the instructor explain this? Or adding some music? This is like creating a transparency and then reading it to a class, in my opinion.

I think the class is a fascinating idea, though.

I still can't read this, even full frame (and I have a 20" monitor). The text is too blurry. That's because it is low resolution.

Where's todays class. Pitzer'73

Yes. I'm certain we will hit upon limits almost immediately (size, form, quality) as we try to make YouTube do what learning in academia requires. The question is can we work past the limits, or will we make new demands or forms...

Hello! I just read your email and came to see this.
It will certainly be an interesting class... I have never seen anything like this before.
Seeing the syllabus in a video form made me realize how limited this format is. Because of the limited size and quality of the video file, all the letters are blurred, and I have to depend only on your voice. I tried to find out where our class is held in this video, and it was almost impossible!
(By the way, it's Scott Hall 230, right?)
