I suppose this is as good as time as any to announce SCSU Politics, the "big project" we've been working on in my Writing for the Web course (grad/undergrad). I decided this semester to leave my comfort zone (wikis) and see what students could do with a content management system (Drupal). I helped them set up the website, relying on Elizabeth for the graphics design work.

At any rate, it's up and looking good, and I've been trying to get other SCSU students and other people (you, for instance) to check it out and consider joining the fun. The goal here is to give these students some experience running an active online community.

The class is VERY small (4 students!), so it's been pretty intense. Still, I'm hoping that this project will be successful enough to lure more students next time I teach the course.
