72 ANTH101 – The Evolution of a Connected Course
Speakers
Tom Woodward and Mike Wesch
Abstract
ANTH101 (https://anth101.com/) is many things, including:
- -a free alternative to expensive Introduction to Cultural Anthropology textbooks
- -a full textbook, original videos, podcasts, and curated digital materials
- -a unique anthropology class featuring 10 challenges for transformative learning
- -a “connected course” of many faculty around the world sharing materials
- -an open course freely available to anyone online
In this session Mike Wesch and Tom Woodward discuss the evolution of this open, connected course that has had several iterations across numerous platforms, including WordPress, Instagram, and Canvas. This discussion highlights some of the bigger questions about working openly on a more complex and conflicted web.
