The instructors decided to utilize Eduzendium as a way of providing students an opportunity to practice for a lifetime of quickly researching new technologies, plus exploring the ramifications of being out on the web (i.e., not anonymous). Students will collaborate in small groups (2-4 students) to write an article in Citizendium on an "emerging technology" topic (to be pre-approved by the instructors). Groups will also present their results to the class at the end of the course. Training will be provided on using the Penn library, which includes "deep web" references such as academic journals, patent searches, and business surveys.

Below is a list of articles that students will be working on during the Summer II 2010 semester (July and early August). These articles will be closed to editing by other citizens until after the conclusion of the course, though we'd appreciate hearing any comments or suggestions you might have on their respective talk pages.

To participating students
Please feel free to customize your user pages any way you wish. Until the course ends, I suggest that you retain a pointer on your user page to CIS 700 Emerging Technologies 2010 so other authors will know that you are involved with Eduzendium. A portion of your course grade will be obtained by participating as an author throughout the CZ:Computers_Workgroup. Please add the link to your user page using this code: CIS 700 Emerging Technologies 2010

Articles under development
For each of the articles you plan to have your students work on, please add a line of the form, which will display as

etc.

Once the articles have been created, they will be listed here in the following formatting:

Creating articles
Eduzendium courses need a number of help pages in order to function properly within the Citizendium.
