This course wiki is for public resource sharing for students (current and alums), faculty, and fans of Foresight Development, a core course (TCH110) in foresight studies and personal futuring taught at the University of Advancing Technology (UAT, http://www.uat.edu). UAT is a distinguished four-year university in Phoenix, AZ whose mission is educating innovators of the future.

There are four main sections in this wiki. See navbar at left, or click below to start:

Curricula (public versions of our course materials)
Resources (all foresight resource sharing pages)
Career (mentor, internship and career futuring pages)
Teachbacks (for sharing your foresight work for others)

See also our Personal Futures Wiki, which you will use in the last ten weeks of this course for doing career, relationship and life foresight work.

NOTE: This wiki is on the Open Social Web. Be courteous, and don't post anything you wouldn't want accessible to everyone.

Permissions:
1. Anyone on the web can view this wiki. Send the link to your friends!
2. Anyone with a Wetpaint account can add comments at the bottom of any page (resource sharing, discussions, etc.).
3. Only those who have been sent an invitation* (students, faculty, and interested others) can edit these pages (login and click "EasyEdit" at top of any page).

Students: Joining this wiki is not a requirement of our course (you can turn in your resources by email if you wish) but it is recommended for those who wish to participate in open online community. Regardless, everyone has to at least come to the website to view what we are creating together. I recommend you use your real name in your Wetpaint profile, but you can use your initials if you wish more privacy, or a pseudonym if you really have to (as long as you tell me what it is). Your email address can be kept private or made publicly viewable in your Wetpaint profile (this is a preference setting you control). Feel free to use an anonymous secondary email account (get one at Gmail or Yahoo) if you want an anonymous email address for the open social web. Also feel free to upload an optional picture (yourself or some other cool pic) here and share a few sentences of (public) personal background. See the Navigation pane on the left for the current wiki pages. Welcome to the wiki!

Be Bold! This is your space to add resources, resource commentary, post questions, and have discussions, so don't be shy. You can visit this wiki anytime, and you'll be directed here four times over the course for "wikiraid" community resource-building assignments.

Wikirules: Please include your name (full name or first name plus last initial) at the end of any wiki contribution you make, with a dash in front (Example: - Joe Student). All wiki posts may be edited for grammar, style, clarity and brevity by any of us. The entire wiki is heavily edited at the end of each semester. Only the best contributions survive the end-of-semester cut. Make sure several have your name on them so you leave a legacy to the course!

Thanks for sharing your best futures resource discoveries and ideas here, and have fun!
