Knowledge, Learning, Community

The Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course George Siemens and I are teaching at the University of Manitoba has attracted a fair bit of attention and a new title: the Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC, with references in Beth Kanter, George Siemens, Bryan Alexander and Jennifer Maddrill. Also, responding to the course blog (link no longer functions, sorry) Norman Constantine suggested that we use BlogTalkRadio for the audio portions of the course. So I have set up an account there and will be testing the service with a show on Friday afternoon - stay tuned for another announcement. (Update: 2013 - original URL was http://blog.missiontolearn.com/2008/08/massive-open-online-course/ - this now links to a copy of that original post).
