What Harvard Can Learn from Nine Inch Nails In the post below, I mentioned that Trent Reznor has posted a song online that anyone can download and remix, using the Apple program "Garageband."

Kind of cool, right? An approach to making music that fosters interactivity, democracy, creativity, individualism and collective effort, all at the same time.

So here's a suggestion: Why doesn't some Harvard professor post a paper online and allow contributors to create similar mashups? Wikipapers, if you will?

(What if, say, a professor did so with a class he or she was teaching?)

Of course, doing so would require someone with a high degree of intellectual self-confidence. You never know what might happen. But isn't that the fun part?  ¶ 9:25 AM
