Collaborative Projects is our parallel course that is working on the technical side of our Internet2 Collaboration. Internet2 may be one of the ways that EXPANDED MUSIC defines itself in the 21st Century. Led by Tom Beyer the chief system engineer, composer, and percussionist, the class is currently connecting to Norway. The class meets on Monday mornings at 10 a.m., but set up starts at 9 a.m. Please feel free to join us to explore this part of the process. The relationship of our two classes is creating a synergistic relationship in the curriculum that is existing as complementary courses that provide a seamless connection between two functions. Think of them as having the relationship of
iTunes, iPhoto, and
iMovie which are applications that can function independently but also provide a seamless suite of applications each with a specific function. This kind of synergy of one paradigm forming the energy for another was observed and described by
Marshall McLuhan in
Understanding Media. Think of curriculum as a medium comparable to all other media. "The medium is the message" was a phrase coined by McLuhan that became a part of the language of the late 20th century.
