Feb. 11: Networks & Neighborhoods in Cyberspace
Facebook, Linkedln, MySpace -- these and other online networks connect millions of people every day. But how do online networks affect learning and communication? What are the educational, cultural, political, and ethical implications of intersecting virtual and physical communities?
