Perhaps if I can create it all in an open format, you could! I would appreciate your insights on all of these topics, as would my students. I will keep you updated, although I *just* found out that my schedule for the fall might change, so these two courses may be taken away due to some scheduling issues. Stay tuned... Troy Thanks, Kevin!

The first one seems very insightful and I may use some of the ideas there for a course we are considering creating. I think the concept of a digital capstone project is an interesting one. I hope you blog and share your ongoing work. Kevin I wish I could take your course, Troy.
