That was me. :) I taught CS377B at Stanford in the autumn quarter
("Dynamic Multimedia with Squeak"). It was a lot of fun! I didn't
mention it here much because it was the first offering and I was
swamped. :) I look forward to doing a full brain dump about it sometime
soon.
One interesting thing was the format of the class... we all sat around
a table with networked machines (there were fewer than 35 of us :), and
hung out in Nebraska. The lectures were all multi-way active essays;
pretty chaotic at first, but it settled down into a good rhythm.
Assignments were all turned in by dropping Projects on my badge, no
files at all, very nice (after we got it working :).
I hope to come to the MM-in-CSEd workshop, if I can get funding
together!
