Below are the list of course themes emphasized by the community for exploring concepts, resources and activities concerning knowledge media and learning.
These themes were selected according to KMD2003 community members interest who took the course in Fall 2006. Some of the themes have been introduced in the earlier section of the course and were further developed in this section.

October 10: Planning for weekly themes
By the end of this session we would like to have a working plan for the week when we moderate discussions.
*We will start the class with a brief discussion about what we expect to learn from our presentations
- After the break each group share their vision for their selected theme with the class.
- Each group will take 5 to 10 minutes
- Others will provide feedback on the plan
- Groups get together to
- Finalize the theme
- Decide what the class will experience (learn), what are the issues, what are some problem areas,...
- Identify resources-- like articles, websites, software-- that can enrich our experince with the theme
- Plan for activities-- hands on, questions for discussion, cases, group work.
- make a wiki page that represents the plan (we will consider the template that was developed last year)
Jim will be away but he will probably check the wiki as we plan for our themes.
