Completing assignments on your wiki:-
Your wiki is truly a collaborative tool, and that's how we will use it in the coming weeks! Your wiki is make up of web pages that introduce new topics and readings daily. You can place your daily assignments on each corresponding web page in the space provided under your name/initials as indicated. You can comment on these pages using a comment box that's rather like Facebook's Wall. There are 1819 pages in total and they can be viewed by clicking on the side bar to the left of any wiki page.

Yes, but I encourage everyone meet their deadline for daily assignments, due by 10 am the following day. Our first two weeks comprise mainly forums with research topics moving in a historical progression (with the exception of the first week's focus on the Venice Biennale, which opens this week). With each successive week, you will be encouraged to do more independent research and more things on our wiki project site. This will help to build your confidence so that by the the final week you will be fully prepared to create your final presentations. Feel free to work ahead especially with your readings and your final presentations (deadline: 24 June 2011 20 January 2012).
Your online work is evaluated weekly. If you want to get ahead, you can work at weekends or at your own pace. Feel free to log in whenever you have time to work, normally it is expected that you will spend about 1- 2 hours preparing daily assighments. In addition to your reading, this represents the contact time we might have spent in a regular class.
