E-learning and digital cultures MOOC


The MOOC site is now open, and you’ll find it at: https://class.coursera.org/edc-001/

We suggest you start by going to the ‘Welcome to E-learning and Digital Cultures’ page, where you can read more about the course structure, and how we invite you to engage with it.
All course content is now available, and the discussion board for Week 1 is open.
The ethos of the course is one of collaboration (driven by you, and a great start has already been made!) and multidisciplinary content, which we hope will lead us into a broad, exciting and scholarly assessment of ‘e-learning’ as part of our collective digital cultures. We hope you enjoy it.

“Blended Teaching of World Languages” or Language Teaching MOOC (LTMOOC)

LTMOOC is a collaborative course for language teachers of all levels to discuss and gain a deeper understanding of emerging trends in blended teaching and learning of world languages, including the methodology, best practices, and practical application of the blended and online classroom. The course will facilitate discussion and development of ideas in a connectivist-style MOOC, inviting all course participants to contribute.

This announcement comes in response to hundreds of inquiries and requests received regarding the Instreamia adaptive learning platform and its popular flagship course SpanishMOOC, which is known as one of the first MOOCs for teaching a foreign language. Its professor, Scott Rapp, will facilitate LTMOOC and share his experience teaching SpanishMOOC, including its many challenges and successes from both an educational and technological perspective.




#EDCMOOC

the MOOC I am currently enrolled in, #EDCMOOC, could be added. It is run through Coursera, but the pre-course community-building has been so strong, that I believe it is a cMOOC. I am absolutely willing to defend that point of view, if you would like more info.
Please come have a look at our Google+ community. This would be a good start: https://plus.google.com/105733336498133673508/posts/d3ez3tuWie9
