Re: [xmca] Beth Ferholt on Playworlds on vimeo.com

[Beth Ferholt <bferholt@gmail.com>]

Thank you Andy.
The lecture is from Robert's and my paper (same title) in MCA, discussed
last year on XMCA, and if anyone happens to both see the lecture and has
also read the paper ...
I am struggling with, and am interested in comments concerning: 1) how
complex ideas in a paper for MCA can be presented to an audience including
undergraduates without any "dumbing down," and 2) ways to use film to create
a lesson that is more of a one-way class on skype than a  documentation of a
lecture.
Thanks, Beth
