Ever since the course on Coursera officially started, the Google+ and Facebook groups have been hit by a tidal wave of new members. It’s more important now than ever to make decisions about my own focus and filters.
I would really like to find a cluster of like-minded souls in the #EDCMOOC cloud! Do give me a shout in the comments, Google+ or on Twitter.
My learning goals:
- Use a set of interesting tools and theories surrounding digital culture(s)
- Be part of a sustainable learning community
- Learn about learning
- Figure out the principles at work in MOOC
My interests, as far as MOOCs are concerned:
- Learning design, instructional design, MOOC design
- Connectivism, connected learning, learning communities
- Digital Humanities
- Higher Education
- State of affairs in the big European e-learning projects and in particular in Belgium, France and The Netherlands
- Digital literacy
My contribution:
- Creating images and mash-ups
- Layout
- HTML and CSS
- Figuring out blogs, feeds and Twitter
- Languages: Dutch, French, English, in no particular order
- Historical perspective (check out my “about” page)
Currently, I’m keeping track of #EDCMOOC through:
- Coursera
- Google+
- a blog post here and there (Hoping to narrow it down to a personal selection matching my interests)
For instance, Chris Swift’s Blog is interesting to keep up with the EDCMOOCcommunity: http://mybackyard78.blogspot.co.uk/ - #edcmooc on Twitter
heart to hear, i hear your points, filtering, design, underlying principles. Last time I engaged in this stuff was in uni – I blogged about a course in New Media Technology. I’m also interested in learning through games @Danxyeal #edcmooc
Alright! Great. Following you on Twitter as of… now.
Hi Sara,
I found your blog via Google+, and since some of your interests and goals intersect with mine I thought of dropping you a line. I’m Egbert Alejandro Martina and I teach media literacy in Amsterdam. I studied International Business and via several channels ended up doing what I’m doing now. I’m very much interested in open source methodologies, digital archives (e-libraries), decolonial pedagogies.
Looking forward to exchanging thoughts with you.
Hi Egbert, pleased to meet you! Following your blog and Twitter now.
Likewise! Thanks for following back.
Very interesting. Thanks. I have a blog but have not started posting about Coursera, so I guess I need to. My only concern with this course is the sheer amount of time I am spending just reading and finding information. I don’t think I was prepared to invest as much time as I am investing and I am just doing 1/100th of what I should!
Thanks Claudia! I know, it is too easy to get caught up in reading all the fora and blogs… My good intention for next week, is to plan ahead and stick to a reading list..
Hi Sara, nice to meet you!
My focus: “Be part of a sustainable learning community” + “Learn about learning”
I am on blogger so I put your feed in my reader, mine is: http://krustelkrammoocs.blogspot.com/
I think you also might be interested in http://learn.media.mit.edu/ If you sign up for it and want to, I can send you my code so we end up in a group together. All the best,
Céline
Hi Celine, Great!
Actually, I already took a peek at your work, after “reading you” on the Google+ community.
Yay, love the MIT “learning creative learning” lab. Let’s do this! How do I contact you?
