Hmm, well it appears that I totally forgot to blog yesterday - not that it's required to blog each day but I was hoping to chronical my journey. Thinking back - the assignment yesterday was to create a storify story. Did it and it came out ok - again new technology, figure out how to use it - and how to find my older twitter feeds and then how to save so that I could work on in between my real job activities. Once again, created a product that is in the first phase, would not release one at that level under normal (i.e. non-MOOC) circumstances. However, learning did occur and that is the goal of the MOOC MOOC for me. :-) Oh, also participated in several discussions, which were quite interesting but again since this "course" is all over the place, a certain feeling of chaos still exists. In fact, several participants are very unhappy with the structure and the execution of the class.
Today's assignment is much more up my alley, creating courses is what I love to do. I don't know if I'd every actually deliver a MOOC but if I did it would be structured quite differently than this one. I would compare the way I teach online to the way this MOOC is conducted is if you were listening to music, this MOOC is so Bartok (not my favorite composer - too much chaos), my courses are always more like Mozart (you know where you should be, where you are going and it's quite pleasurable).So let's play a MOOC. I'll put the link here after I finish it.
