Almost finished syllabus for ENG 7020: Theories of the Digital, the graduate course I will teach this semester. Might make a few changes/additions to the intro/description.

Your students are lucky--this sounds like exactly the kind of course I'd like to take. Maybe you could make it a distance learning course? Are your required texts print media (or, "books" as we used to say back in the day, or are they a mixture of new and old media?
Here's an editing question: is "perforrmative" a newly -coined spelling or a typo?

I'm definitely thinking about that. Can I squat on your Drupal installation?

Why don't you use just use drupal so that you can use its internal blogging system? That way, all the "blogs" (they aren't exactly blogs like wordpress) are in the same space.
There's also the book feature which is collaborative.

I am thinking about a group weblog this semester; students who want their own blogs can make 'em and use trackbacks to link up posts which are distinct. Those who don't want their own weblog just use the group blog. You have an email list, which can serve as a common space; I haven't decided if I'll be using email, so I am thinking about ways to provide some central gathering point.

The course looks great. I really like the idea of formalizing the practice of reading notes as database.

My plan right now is to just post my notes to the site - in either a blog post or on the sidebar as a new page.
And for students to post to their own blogs.
Do you have anything in mind about making the process smoother?

I hope to teach a course like this one in Spring 2007, when I should be doing a graduate seminar.
Are you doing anything to aggregate the reading notes so that students can more easily look at each others' notes and/or comment on them?
