Projects invite students to apply these insights critically and constructively. | Students should expect to come away with an enlarged perspective on social media, including the histories, public policies, and global forces shaping the apps and networks widely used today.

| - | ### Network participation (25%) | + | ### Quests (25%) |
| - | Naturally, we have our own social network. We host, manage, and moderate it ourselves. It is an instance of [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), an open-source platform designed to interoperate with the broader "fediverse." It can be accessed on the Web or with the many [third-party apps available](https://joinmastodon.org/apps). | + | In and out of class, we will use a private, self-managed social network to communicate at [mediastudies.social](https://mediastudies.social). It utilizes Mastodon, an open-source software platform designed to connect with the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse), but we will only use it to connect with each other. |
| - | Since our network is ours, we want it to be healthy. Report any concerning behavior with a private message to the instructor or a TA with the hashtag `#report`. If you would like to make a proposal for changing our network rules, please do so with a poll marked `#proposal`. The instructor and TAs reserve the right to veto proposals. | + | Each week before recitation on Friday, students should demonstrate their [[engagement_with_assigned_sources|engagement]] with the reading in posts on mediastudies.social. This consists of two parts: |
| - | Each week before class on Tuesday, students should plan to post their reflections on the assigned materials. These will be evaluated to ensure they include: | + | * Complete the Quest, which is specified in each week's assignment, in a post or thread (by posting and replying to each previous post) using the hashtag \#q[number] |
| + | * Reply to at least two other students' Quests with analytic, critical, and respectful responses | ||
| - | * At least 5 substantive posts each week, including (and these can overlap): | + | Posts from a given week will be evaluated to ensure that, collectively, they include: |
| - | - At least two quotations from assigned materials with commentary | + | |
| - | - At least two replies to other students' posts | + | |
| - | - At least one piece of multimedia (e.g., image, video, audio, poll) | + | |
| - | * Constructive contribution to the class discussion | + | |
| - | * Evidence of comprehension of the assigned materials | + | |
| - | Each week, extra-credit bounties will be distributed to authors of the most successful posts. Criteria will vary as we evaluate the priorities of our shared discussion. | + | * Completion of the Quest in a thoughtful and creative fashion |

| - | ### The missing README (25%) | + | ### The missing how-to (25%) |
| - | Around the midterm, students will produce a README document about a social network—a "missing manual" to introduce a new user to what it is, how to use it, and what to watch out for. A README is an old-fashioned file that comes with software to explain the basics of it. Today, most commercial tools are designed to be used without any documentation. But what do we lose when we don't really understand something before using it? | + | Around the midterm, students will produce a how-to video about a social media platform---a "missing manual" to introduce a new user to what it is, how to use it, and what to watch out for. Today, most commercial tools are designed to be used without any documentation. But what do we lose when we don't really understand something before using it? |
| - | Choose a network from the provided list. Produce a 1,300-1,500 word document, appropriately formatted to appeal to a specific intended audience. Audiences might include parents, younger siblings, a competing business, aspiring influencers, or more. Use of illustrative images is encouraged. Be sure to meet the following evaluation criteria: | + | First, choose a platform *that you have never regularly used yourself* from the provided list. Try it out, and learn everything you can about it from a variety of published sources. |
| - | * Completion of the assignment with stylistic correctness | + | Second, identify a specific intended audience. Audiences might include parents, younger siblings, a competing business, aspiring influencers, or others. |
| - | * Explanation of basic use, including affordances and disaffordances | + | |
| - | * Analysis of the network's business model and ownership | + | Third, produce a 5--6 minute video appropriately formatted to introduce the platform to your specific intended audience (and make clear who they are). Demonstrate how the platform works and how to navigate it. Additionally, turn in a bibliography in APA style of 6--8 sources you used in your research. |
| - | * Impressive research with in-text hyperlinks to all source documents | + | |

The goal is to put what you've learned to use through constructive thinking.
