			=== Session structure ===

			This session will be structured as a workshop (and discussion afterwards). Each participant will spend the week working on a cause that they are personally interested in, applying the techniques from readings and class to their own project. Key components of this week:

			* A '''questionnaire''' will be sent out beforehand to all class participants so they can frame the most important aspects of their cause. (For instance: What are the aims of your cause? What technologies do you prefer to use while working on activism for your cause, and why? How many people do you want to mobilize? How deep should their involvement be?) Participants will use the questionnaire to write a mini case-study for their cause, to bring to the discussion.
			* The session will kick off with a '''workshop''' where the students will work on an online project designed to raise and deepen involvement and/or awareness for their cause. For instance, they might contribute to the planning of a conference, create an email-blast marketing campaign, host a party that is heavily advertised online, create or spread viral media, compile statistics on online membership for their cause, etc.
			* We will follow that with a '''discussion and reflection''' on the theories and best practices that apply.
			* The '''role of our guest experts''' will be to come in as workshop aides; it will be interesting to hear from them what they thinks the most important rules for success are.
