Knowledge, Learning, Community
Another open online course in the connectivist mold: "Many are predicting that higher education, like dot-coms and housing before it, is the next "bubble" ready to burst, and that technology will be at the forefront of college cost control. Using Anya Kamenetz's DIY U as a starting point, we'll consider what these trends might mean in an open seminar." Definitely worth a look. "I imagine this as more of a discussion of issues than an exercise in learning a particular something, so it seems to lend itself better to the seminar label. We'll scaffold our discussions around DIY U by Anya Kamenetz, but it is merely a point de départ. For those who don't have the book or don't wish to read it, there will be other suggested resources on each topic." It started September 7 so you're not too late, really.
