  • Draft Course Outline

    Posted: September 2nd, 2008, 9:37pm GMT by gsiemens

    I’ve posted a draft version of the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course outline. We have a fair bit of reading assigned during the course. Would like to balance that with short videos podcasts. Any suggestions? Or, for that matter, any suggestions on additional important readings?

    Finally, any comments on the assignments, planned interaction, etc. are much appreciated.

  • Beware: The MOOC Cometh

    Posted: September 2nd, 2008, 3:12pm GMT by gsiemens

    After months of planning, talking, and a bit of  hyping, we are now less than a week away from getting started with our Massive Open Online Course.

    A quick status update and what you can expect this week.

    1. We’ll post the course outline about mid-week with details of assignments, reading lists, and general course information.

    2. We’ll run a series of “tests” this week with elluminate (Wednesday) and UStream (Friday). I’ll post more today and send out an email with times/links as well.

    3. I’ll provide you with a link to the Moodle forum later today for introductions. You can obviously do an introduction on your own blog/site as well. Just use the CCK08 tag.

    4. On Sunday you’ll receive an official content email for the upcoming week. This email will include all the information you need to access course material and your assignments for the week.

    5. I will post a short presentation tomorrow that will provide better orientation to how this course will work and where you need to go for information, links, etc.

    hmm…am I missing anything? Is something still completely confusing?
