In the flurry of preparation for PLENK 2010 I would be remiss if I fail to mention Alec Couros's open graduate course, EC&I 831: Social Media & Open Education. Couros notes, "While I see much of this as common-sense, I've had my critics and was once even labeled as a techno-communist. As an aside, here was my response in the form of my own attack-ad."

He writes, ", I am also proposing an advanced, non-credit participation mode in my Call for Network Mentors. Basically, I'm looking for knowledgeable and savvy volunteers who get to participate in the course sessions."
