Welcome
to COM 465 Communicating on the Internet [The COM378 in the Flash
window above is a mistake and should be 465]. Use the links in
the left column.
- This
course will explore communication and the Internet. As well as
lectures and presentations, there will be a strong practical component
in which students will set up their own web presence and network
with others.
- The
menu at the left will guide you through this course.
- Generally
~ the first hour will be my presentation and after a break we will
have close to one and a half hour to work on projects - the practical
part of the class.
- There
is no hard copy reader or syllabus for this course. Everything
is online. In two places. Your first try should
be http://www.albany.edu/~neuage/com465/index.html and
(because sometimes the uni server is down) http://www.geocities.com/com465_neuage/index.html and/or http://www.angelfire.com/ex/saratoga/com465/index.html Please
check the daily
link (daily) for updates.
- This
is a short intense course worth a full semesters three-points,
therefore you can not miss any classes. One class (three-hours)
is equal to missing a week of regular semester classes. If you
think you will miss any classes please see me on the first night,
as this course may not be right for you.
- Any
course questions please address to me in Web CT email.
- I
will be in my office most days during the course. Room 386 in the
Social Science building - phone: 442 2604.
- This
lab will be closed outside of class - some of the software we are
using is only available on these computers therefore you need to
do some of your work totally here.
- For this course, the cultural
context of communication refers to the Western European beliefs,
values and norms common to Western European countries, which may
differ from the cultural context of some students enrolled in the
course.
Money
well spent
1. You will need a headset
with a microphone

2. You will need a floppy-disk
to save your work on.
Readings
You will locate and access
readings online for various classes using a variety of searching
skills that you will build throughout the course. Time will be provided
for most readings in class before the practical as you will need
to be prepared to discuss issues from the readings in your practical,
journal and tutor's voice-forum.
Readings will appear on
the page for the day.
Feel free to call me Terrell
instead of Professor or Saint Terrell or anything else-
Cheers
