#octel  this presentation by Jim Groom of Uni Mary Washington is an entertaining and inspirational story from the people who brought you DS106, and other ‘edu-punk’ stories about open pedagogy. I cannot recommend this talk enough….

A webinar on how to host your own MOOC course with open source tools (in this case, Wordpress, but there are several other open source MOOC tools, too, like OpenMOOC, CourseBuilder, Class2Go, and the code for edX will be released soon, too).  See Martin’s Wordpress MOOC recipe here: http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/04/octel-an-open-online-course-recipe-using-wordpress/

#octel  Just had a quick look at http://www.glomaker.org/guides.html Whilst not totally sure how to embed within VLE (will need to experiment) I like the structure. Structure is what I am here to learn about as I consider how to redesign a traditional study skills module to enhance digital literacies. Thanks for the link!

Hello, I’ve seen the fascinating link from John Duhring which gives a network analysis of the twitter conversations for a particular course. I’ve also come across ideas where students can use whatever tools they want to share/discuss/comment (like the system in OcTEL MOOC) and they then get aggregated into one single place for all to view. What I’d like to know is how to do this. It would be great to see if I can persuade my Faculty to allow this for a course I teach on. If anyone could send me a link to how to set this up that would be great.

Here’s my entry for Week 4 which I enjoyed exploring Screecast-o-Matic and the iEthics simulation.  I explored how these tools could be used in the corporate workplace.  Definitely going to use them (or their ideas) with work with my internal clients.

This week was an interesting #OCTEL activity week that opened my eyes to some resources that I had otherwise not known about and which I could immediately apply to my workplace.  The first activity…

My blog post this week owes a debt of thanks to Imogen Bertin’s post in the forum entitled, “iTunesU – you need to know how to search it”. http://octel.alt.ac.uk/forums/topic/itunesu-you-need-to-learn-how-to-search-it/#reply-3483

In Week 4, the fundamental question that #ocTEL asks is “how can we take advantage of technological developments in order to create and source relevant learning resources?” Actually, the question c…

This infographic has really got me thinking! As well as Imogen’s comment about retrieving these external memories, I think we also have to consider that although our personal recollection of ‘facts’ may be flawed this is also the case for much we find on the internet.  Retrieve from a credible source…
I have added it to my blog (with thanks / credited to you)

The small innocuous three words in the question “what is learning” belies the fact that this is a question which has the potential to be very broad and yet deep in scope. Whilst there are many theories of how we learn and could learn as mentioned in the ocTEL week 3 email (social constructivism …

Hello everyone. My name is Helen Blunden and I work as a Virtual Learning Consultant in one of the big 4 banks in Australia.  You can find out more about me here http://about.me/helenblunden  This is my 4th cMOOC and introduced to it by +Gerardine Rudolphy 

My first cMOOC was #etmooc  which I thoroughly enjoyed but I’m also doing the Teach The Web MOOC and the #OCTEL  at the moment. It’s a lot of work but the beauty of it is that you can pick and choose what works for you to apply it to your work.Looking forward to learning more here !
