Just in case anyone wondered, as I did: Start End Fee 28 Jan 2012 Oct 2012 £1310.00 Looks like a bargain, even if it is a funny number. MK -----Original Message----- From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of R.M.Holliman Sent: 2011-December-16 20:43 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PSCI-COM] Communicating science in the information age Communicating science in the information age (http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/sh804-podcastcourse) Anyone with an interest in how and why we communicate science will benefit from this postgraduate science course, which is a component course for the MSc in Science and Society (http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/qualification/f48.htm). Using case studies and articles, you’ll consider how science is communicated in different settings and genres, through a range of oral, print and digital media, and what frameworks and methods have been proposed for studying these communications. You’ll explore how scientists communicate with each other and look at the role of public engagement activities, science museums, popular science books, science theatre, television documentaries and newspapers in representing the sciences. Registration is open until 10th January 2012. The course starts in February 2012. -- The Open University is incorporated by Royal Charter (RC 000391), an exempt charity in England & Wales and a charity registered in Scotland (SC 038302). ********************************************************************** Further information about the psci-com discussion list, including list archive, can be found at the list web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/psci-com.html You may also change your settings and subscribe/unsubscribe to psci-com from the web site.
