Howard Rheingold offers an online 6-week course on cooperation theory

Social Media Classroom “Introduction to Cooperation Theory”

No way to assess the quality of this course, but it is interesting that it exists. It seems to be out on the frontier of courses using only web-available content: a harbinger of things to come? I guess my only question about such a course if I were a potential student would be “who is Howard Rheingold, and how do I assess his qualifications to teach this course?”.
