A call for more #HumanMOOC discussion groups. Or. The very human problem of access with more thoughts on the Interpersonal Multitudes Barrier (IMB)
So I planned this participant led discussion inside of #HumanMOOC. In terms of process I tweeted that I wanted to do this and asked who else might be interested. With those that responded I opened a DM channel and configured a time. Then I advertised the time on the tag to see if I could get…

Dear #rhizo15 community, You guys were an awesome curriculum. I need to thank you all for helping me to put some structure around what I have long considered the natural way that I learn.
