A Place for Messy Professional Development

I think the hardest thing to do on the internet these days is to create a community. Not only are you working against the social media giants, you're also working against people's preference to stay where they are rather than go somewhere new. Thus it is with OE Global's Discourse powered community space. Add to this difficulty Alan Levine's preference for semi-structured (bordering on chaotic) interaction and you have an almost impossible task. "I think my idea is still out of the bell curve of expectations of webinars, workshops, presentations," he writes. "I am not sure my colleagues grasp my idea. This is hardly the first time." Well I, for one, would like to see it succeed.
I've signed up, but even if you don't, there's already some excellent resources available for you to just browse. For example, there's this set of selected resources about open pedagogy. And for this year, we have the open pedagogy summer adventure. Levine also links to his H5P Kitchen. Finally, there's the summer EDI book club, where they're reading From Equity Talk to Equity Walk. You might also be interested in Penn State's open pedagogy project roadmap and workbook. Now I'm hoping the community server sends me email (update: it does, fully configurable), since I'm not a 'drop in' sort of person, and if it keeps sending me stuff like this I'll find it well worth the investment in time.
