Evidence that learning cannot be contained within the boundaries of a course, I’ve taken a couple double takes reading both Audrey Watters’ and Mike Caulfield’s excellent critiques about Sugra Mitra and his Hole in the Wall project in India. Caulfield also tweeted a link to this excellent essay by Morozov touching on the topic of… Read More »
There’s a lot to like about the EDCMOOC currently running in Coursera. It’s probably the closest thing I’ve seen to a cMOOC on an xMOOC platform. That said, the platform hinders its greatness.

It really felt like I was in the same room as Andy, Tim, Shannon, Ben and Allyson. Being the most experienced of the crew,… Read More »

I love the celebratory, non-violent movement of this ensemble featured in The Huffington post. I’ve included the embed of the video below. It’s quite moving. I love the track titled Intuition by Astronomie. It’s en… Read More »

Me and the gals learned to stop worrying and love the propaganda. Because we’re in DS106 now. This is an ANIMATED propaganda poster based on “We’re in the army now” retro poster. I used Photoshop and very crudely selected out the bits I wanted to erase, used the eyedropper to select the background colour and… Read More »
