course webs back to Fall 1999
Ricci Street will be done by you, not to you. It's not a software program, it's not a pedagogical system, it's not a finished project. Ricci Street is a toolkit of technologies and the beginnings of an online learning community. The Lantern Lane neighborhood is where you'll find course webs.
As teachers move from being sages on the stage to guides on the info-roadside, their course webs will light students' way. More than a course disclosure, more than a syllabus, a course web puts learning resources a click away: texts, discussions, evaluations, and the teacher's office. It provides a portal to the course's content in the classroom, in print, and elsewhere on Ricci Street and the World Wide Web.
Your best bet is to explore one. For MBA 504, everything at this URL:
http://RicciStreet.net/dwares/lane/mba504/
that is, everything in the mba504/ folder, is information that is unique to MBA 504. It is the information that I would hand out on paper if I weren't using the Web. All the pages in that folder comprise the course web.
Here's what Chris Locke had to say about the Internet at the third Reboot conference in Copenhagen on May 18, 2000:
What's going on has nothing to do with e-commerce or broadband or any of that. Those are just tools. Like the horses we painted in the caves at Lascaux, like the bone axes and bows we made, the religions and mythologies we invented, the literatures, arts, intellectual disciplines. Just tools. What they are for is to help us fall in love with the world again, and again, and again forever.
