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.
