Internet Studies
Highlights
Some idea of what happens in Internet Studies can be judged from the following recent highlights:
Debating Communities and Networks 2010
In 2010, students studying Communities and Networks did an amazing online conference, over three weeks, as part of their authentic learning experience. This approach, pioneered by the internet studies staff, will be used again in future years. Have a look at the conference: http://networkconference.netstudies.org/
