Communication

Netiquette

For all course communication, whether digitally or in class, please follow the good old principles of netiquette.

In-class discussion: Chatham House Rules

In our discussions, the point is to talk freely about a wide range of subjects related to digital media and technology. These may potentially be sensitive issues of personal or even political nature. As the point is to be able to share our thoughts openly, our discussions fall under the so-called Chatham House Rule:

“When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.”

In principle, the instructor is the only one exempt from this rule. You are allowed to share the information we gave you in the course, with name attached.

Other students may be willing to grant you the same exemption, but please always ask first.

Brightspace

All major announcements for this course will be placed on Brightspace. Here you will also be able to find all required course literature that is not accessible otherwise.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions in class. If it is a specific question, you can use the break.

Angus : On most Thursdays from 10:00-11:00 I will be directly available for any questions in my office or at Digital Lab@Huizinga (0.09). To find this arcane place of digital knowledge, mystery, and creativity, head left after entering the Huizinga building and enter the Humanities Hub!
