Let's try another MOOC
Since the somewhat successful completion of my first open course, Openness in Education (read the summary here: http://oensoxford.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/intro-to-openness-in-education-opened.html), I have pointed my arrows at trying out a MOOC.
While Openness in Education was an example of a graduate course that was available openly to outside students to participate in (the online part of the course) that attracted 10-20 active students, the M in MOOC stands for MASSIVE and tends to be with/for tens of thousands of students.
As an instructional designer, a (former?) scholar in instructional systems and educational science and technology, my curiosity about these Massive Open Online Courses would seem obvious. I wonder how they work or not work, how it feels to be studying in it, an--given I am working in a large global organisation--how could such a format be of use for learning and development in international NGOs?
My former adviser and good friend Kyle Peck and I have been signing up for MOOCs left and right. I think this is my third or fourth attempt to actually start one, let alone finish one!? This time I selected:
The Future of Storytelling
While there is the general interest in participating in a MOOC, I feel learning some more about storytelling will help me with the design and development of my scenario-based elearning.
I am already 1 1/2 week behind schedule ... Let's see where this ends :-)
