Beth's Blog

Intresting post today on Beth's Blog about the first course at Harvard to be open to the public: CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion.

The course will be taught live and in-person at Harvard Law School, and then taught through live interactive sessions with remote students in Second Life. Course videos will also be licensed through Creative Commons and distributed to the general public online and through local television in Cambridge.

CyberOne will be "a course in persuasive, empathic argument in the Internet space." Bridging disciplines, CyberOne will look not just at legal arguments but at the ways different kinds of media can be used to shape arguments in what is sometimes the most important court of all - that of public opinion.

This caught my eye for a couple of reasons. The PodCamp party Friday night is at Harvard. The course title and the fact that it is open to the public makes it something I would look into.
