Lecture slides available in Bilda

.

The slides from today's introductory lecture are now available in the KTH learning management system Bilda. You'll find them in the Bilda group "DM2578 Social Media Technologies HT10" under "Documents/Lectures".

I will upload the slides from every lecture I hold to Bilda, and hope to be able to do it the same day or the day after each lecture. I will also upload slides from our guest lectures if they allow me to do so, and whenever I get my hands on them.

I will from now on not post messages here every time I upload lecture slides (my own or someone else's) to Bilda.

Welcome to the DM2578 course blog

.

Welcome to the course blog for DM2578 Social Media Technologies (autumn 2010).

This blog will be the main tool for spreading course-relevant information from me (teacher) to you (studen) during the course. Please check it out regularly, or, subscribe to the RSS feed.

Readings, information about seminar assignments, changes in the schedule and a cancelled lecture will be announced here, so it could be a good idea to check out the blog before every lecture or seminar...
