Why MOOC?

Writing about web page http://change.mooc.ca/index.html

Whilst I'm wrestling with the question "why have I signed up for another MOOC?" I guess readers of this blog are more likely to be a few steps back asking "MOOC? WTF?" don't worry readers Dave Cormier has put together a video just for you...

So now we have that bit out the way, why do I choose to MOOC?

Simply put, because it suits the way I like to learn and it's FREE.

MOOC "students" are introduced to course facilitatorsand an outline schedulesplit into one week segments. "Students" then choose how they interact with helpful guidelinesreplacing rules and regulations.

My personal challenge for #change11 MOOC is to share more, not just via online networks but through face to face meetings with interested colleagues at University of Warwick.

Watch this space!
