The issues are focused on two levels. The first weeks of the course may be structured around framing these issues and then later the issues get applied and tested in the virtual class. Philosophy is first and foremost presented as relevant and useful for interpreting actual experience. The virtual classroom is the testing ground for in-class discussion. It provides a forum where students can decide issues of relevancy, adequacy, and plausibility.
Students are active in determining the appropriate questions to ask.
The second level of issues revolves around interplay between technology and humanity and flows from the first level of questions. At some level technology has to be defined, though deep excursions into Heidegger are not necessary or appropriate. Another way is through a discussion of history. Discuss what a typical day might be like. Contrast this with the technology of daily life today.
