Gene Koo announced yesterday that Hub2 will be launched this fall at Emerson College in collaboration with the City of Boston. Here’s a bit from the post:

I’m excited to announce that my colleague Eric Gordon and I will be teaching a new, experimental class at Emerson College on exploring, imagining, and building civic places in real and virtual spaces. The class was born of an idea hatched by the City of Boston to develop vibrant, virtual civic spaces. And what better way to foster civic life than to invite members of the community to build it for themselves?”

I am particularly excited about this announcement not only because I am registered for the course but because I hope to be assisting Gene and Eric in some capacity during the semester. Gene writes

Much like CyberOne, there will be a “traditional” class, taught by Eric, and an “open” class, taught by myself. The two classes will run in tandem, with the two groups collaborating on a continuous basis. Here is the description of my class. The flyer explains what the class is about; here is what it is not.

He also adds that the course is currently available at a reduced rate in order “to make the class accessible to as many Boston organizations and individuals as possible.”

As with CyberOne, I look forward to seeing how it develops and to participate in the course, and with the project, as a whole.
