This Group is for students in MAIS 601: Making Sense of Theory in the Arts and Sciences.

What this Group is not for: This Group is not for course work or course correspondence with the instructor (via Moodle's Internalmail system). This Group does not replace the Moodle LMS* site for this course; it complements it. (To access Moodle: Click here to go to the Moodle portal. If you haven't used Moodle before, see the online tutorial.)

So what is this Group for? This Group is a place to continue the discussion beyond the course. It's our space in the social network of the Landing, like a virtual grad students' lounge, but one you can keep visiting after the course ends (or after you graduate, for that matter). Dialogue and network with other students, as well as staff and faculty from all over AU. Scan "Activity" to see who's doing what. "Follow" people whose work interests you. Document and share your thoughts on your own learning, with your own blog, social bookmarking, tweets ("the wire"), Wikis (here called "Pages"), photo galleries, polls. All with item-specific security settings to let you decide who sees what: keep it to yourself; share it with one other person, with the group, with all users; show it to the world. Consider it a part of your personal, lifelong learning environment.

[* LMS = Learning Management System]
