SUMMARY:Angels of Death: David Foster Wallace and the Battle against Irony\, Letterman and Leyner?
DESCRIPTION:D. T. Max\nD.T. Max\, staff writer at the New Yorker\, will look at David Foster Wallace and irony\, with an eye especially on his 1990’s attacks on David Letterman and the novelist Mark Leyner\, both in publications and in private correspondence. When did David Foster Wallace become obsessed with irony and why? What made him so sure it was corrosive to civil culture or initiative? Or was the unease he felt in its presence really more the product of his own personal history? \nCo-hosted with Literature at MIT.

SUMMARY:MOOCs and the Emerging Digital Classroom
DESCRIPTION:MOOCs and other forms of online learning have the potential to disrupt traditional classroom education — or to help us better understand how to exploit the many learning spaces students now inhabit.  This forum examines the ongoing migration of our analog practices into digital forms\, looking at the ways in which digital technologies are transforming teaching and learning both on and off campus. What gaps in our curricula\, or in our students’ experience\, can be filled through technology?  What elements of teaching practice can be effectively translated into new media\, and what aspects of “teaching” must be redefined? \nAnant Agarwal the president of edX\, a worldwide\, online learning initiative of MIT and Harvard University\, and a professor in MIT’s electrical engineering and computer science department. \nAlison Byerly holds an interdisciplinary appointment as College Professor at Middlebury College and\, during 2012-2013\, she is a visiting scholar in the Literature Section at MIT. \nDaphne Koller is the Rajeev Motwani Professor in the               computer science department at Stanford University. Koller will join the conversation live from the west coast.
