I stum­bled across this blog the other day which includes an entire course syl­labus for a Typog­ra­phy class at Mari­etta Col­lege (GRPH 210). I found the site quite inter­est­ing because there is actu­ally a lot of really good info about Typog­ra­phy on the site:

• GRPH 210: Typog­ra­phy

I’m also quite pleased to dis­cover that they are using Linotype’s Font­Ex­plorer X for font man­age­ment in their labs as well. I don’t think that the typog­ra­phy pro­fes­sor in my depart­ment has for­given me yet for pulling the plug on FontRe­serve and replac­ing it with FEX. Sigh.

I think that over­all the site is a nice exam­ple of what can be done with a “departmental blog”. I’ve been work­ing on some­thing sim­i­lar for my own job.
