The class is supported by an extensive web site, and is being offered as a web-based course. Proposal I would like to share some of the fun of my World Builders course with interested conference participants. I will invite the participants to create the society for these aliens. It should be pretty challenging. The aliens are rather like starfish except that they have cylinder-shaped bodies above the four legs, which they can use instead of hands as well as to walk on.
Eyes are at the top.
This workshop will include focused web-searching, large and small group discussion, and upload of the products generated. It is an example of the kind of teaching, research, and critical thinking that are possible in a web based course or project. They can type out their thoughts, which I could code in HTML and upload to my web site pretty much on the spot. Because of limited time, it would be good to have a scanner so that the participants could make drawings that I could put into the computer with their text. I am familiar with the Macintosh, but I think that this workshop could be done in an IBM lab as well.
