KMD Digital Journalism 2010

In this first session, we will give an overview of course, and give facilitators/instructors and participants a chance to introduce themselves, explain whay they are taking the course and what their interests are. We'll also give a brief explanation of P2PU.

Participants will be able to discuss potential project ideas and see if working in a group is an option for any of the projects.

Participants will be given blog accounts and asked to set up or give existing Twitter account. (Twitter # tag #kmddj10)

We will discuss communication methods, set up a mailing list and decide how best to arrange discussions, and how we might want to organise online chat sessions.

Students to sign model release forms.

By the end of this week, you should have:

• Decided how you will communicate with your group members.
• Written a blog post about your personal motivation to join the course.
• Written a blog post as a group about your project, and a self-introduction post on the group blog.
• Participants should share links to interesting websites, tools and other topics that they would like to discuss during Class 2 about the tools.

You can let the group know what you've done by posting links to your blog and other links on the discussion forum here
