Greetings,
   Please see

https://www.coursera.org/course/insidetheinternet

a course on the history of the Internet.  Starts (TBA).  Could be 
interesting.  I lived most of this history, so it will be an interesting 
perspective.  A very interesting part is the interviews with the pioneers 
of the net and the web.

The most interesting parts of the course may well be its format in 
general, and the handling of discussion groups. While content will be 
important, the medium or process of conveying this content may be the most 
interesting.

Join me!

PS This is offered by a U Wash IS prof, Charles Severance.  Let's see what 
he can do.
