    1. A digital assignment can live on. It can be iterative, public, risky, and multi-voiced.

      The public sphere is a neutral zone where information affecting the common good is widely available, discussion is free of domination, and all individuals that are participating do so on an equal basis. In the information economy, the public sphere has transcended spatial boundaries into a space where everyone around the globe can share and form an opinion regardless of background, class, race, or other ways to segregate. Diversifying opinions create new perspectives so that we can all better understand the world. The riskiness that an assignment can live on forces us to think before we post, encouraging deeper reflection than a normal classroom setting can offer.
