  • Registering for the course - for credit

    Posted: August 20th, 2008, 8:21pm GMT by gsiemens

    As previously mentioned, this course is available for free (all content and conversations will be open and online) and this course is also available for credit. Those participants who are seeking credit for the course (which is now for credit in U of Manitoba’s Certificate in Adult and Continuing Education…but will also count as a course in our Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning - more info on that soon) are required to enroll and pay the usual course fee.

    What’s different between taking the course for free vs. enrolling?

    Participants who enroll in the course will be expected to complete a series of assignments, will receive personal feedback on those assignments, and will then be recognized as having completed the course through University of Manitoba.

    If you would like to enroll, you can find more information here. Or you can go straight to the registration/payment page.

  • Connectivism and Second Life

    Posted: August 20th, 2008, 6:49pm GMT by gsiemens

    Openness = innovation. It’s really a simple equation, but one that is the heart of what Stephen and I are attempting to promote in this course. Due to the openness of both course content and interaction, we’re hoping for many opportunities for multi-perspective interactions. We’re seeing this already with course translations and meetups.

    Another valuable community is developing in SecondLife. Chilbo, under the activities of Chris Collins - or Fleep in SL - has organized a Second Life Cohort. It’s a great opportunity to extend the conversation. From the site: “Participants will meet weekly for synchronous discussion in Second Life and will have the opportunity to create a home or office in the Chilbo community for the duration of the course. Due to space limitations, this cohort will be limited to approximately 50 participants.”

    Thanks Fleep!
