"There are more writing opportunities than ever, but they require skills that Strunk and White never dreamed of. This course will teach you how to Photoshop images to create a narrative, edit a 20-second YouTube video, compress your thoughts into 140 characters (or clarify them into a PowerPoint presentation that won’t put your audience to sleep), write a wiki entry that encourages other people to edit and adapt it, and ensure your work goes viral, turning readers into vectors for your ideas."

If this sounds a bit familiar to some of you, it's because this hypothetical course in Wired - Writing for New Forms - tracks pretty much point for point my NET225S Writing for Electronic Media course.
