Knowledge, Learning, Community

My presentation at Open Learning this week focuses on building a MOOC that doesn't require registration, and for that matter, dispenses with as much counting and tracking as I can get rid of. Why? Well - ask youself, how would a typical educational application or service rate on the tos;dr website. Probably an 'E', the lowest possible rating, along with such companies as Facebook, Amazon and Apple. Do they track you? Sell your data? Change terms arbitrarily? Edit or remove content without consent? So I think it's worth the time trying to imagine how to do online learning without scoring an 'E'. The service dates from 2012 but still makes its point.
