<p>I’ve decided to sign up and join <a href="http://openeducation.us/">David Wiley’s MOOC, Introduction to Open<br>
|
||
Education 2012</a>. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooc">MOOC (Massively Open Online<br>
|
||
Course)</a> is an online course, typically run<br>
|
||
by a lecturer at a university, which is freely accessible and built around the<br>
|
||
ideas of connectivism and social learning.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The content of the course, which is about the various ‘kinds’ of openness<br>
|
||
currently practised in higher education, fits nicely with what I’m doing at the<br>
|
||
moment so I thought I’d give it a try.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Although I could theoretically find, study and blog about all of the content in<br>
|
||
this course on my own, I think that the social aspect and the defined set of<br>
|
||
objectives (in the form of “badges”) combined make it more likely that I will<br>
|
||
follow through.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Let’s see if that’s actually true…</p>
