  1. I found this idea amazing and wrote about it at:

    http://www.openeducation.net/2007/10/11/the-changing-facebook-of-education/

    If there is one carrot for students it is relevance. Could there be any greater motivational tool than to ask students to take a cutting edge, pop culture idea and give it their own touch?

    And does anyone know of any other schools offering similar cutting edge courses?
