A Novel Course: i-Generation

Hi everyone! Today's podcast is about a novel course at the University of Western Australia, called "iGeneration: Digital Communication and Participatory Culture". This course was developed and taught by Mr. Tama Leaver. This course had a great deal of its interaction in a blog, and the students were required to create their own podcasts - see:
