Welcome

This space is my attempt to navigate, archive, & discuss the learning buffet of EduMooc 2011

To Navigate, I've created a page of EduMOOCosphere links.

In the Archive, I track blog posts, tweets, & assorted discussions happening week by week.

In hopes of discussing things, I occasionally stream live, interactive webcasts (MOOCasts) which are intended as open-ended opportunities for EduMOOC'ers to share resources, ideas, and feedback about assorted eduMOOC topics and/or the MOOC itself.

The EduMOOC Gradcast is scheduled for: August 17 at 1400UTC (global times) More details

Sanford Arbogast: Alison I am also teach statistics
Alison Snieckus: oh, how interesting that three of us here teach statistics.
Sanford Arbogast: what are teh probablitites of that happening?
Alison Snieckus: I think Jeff wants us to chat on the live stream page.
Rob Darrow: Hmm, that reminds me of an old song, "Free to Be You and Me" We could rewrite to be "Free to Mooc for You and Me."
Kay Endriss: Sanford, I thought your last name looked familiar. Published?
@Alison: no kidding. Seriously, what are the odds?
Alison Snieckus: hehe
Sanford Arbogast: no maybe you are thinking of the detective in psych
Kay Endriss: @Sanford Ah well. Memory not what it used to be.
Lisa M Lane: Didn't they try that with learning objects? and they're all over the place
Lisa M Lane: does that make Google search super important? maybe we need Google Student or something
Rob Darrow: Alison, where are you located...and what level of stats do you teach where?
Lisa M Lane: that's what's hard about the "course" idea
Osvaldo Rodriguez: adios a todos
Lisa M Lane: that's what I was going to ask - can this keep going?
