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.

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

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)
