A Paradox of Now, Efficiency, and Creativity: Initial thoughts on #HumanMOOC. Or the very human dichotomies in the nature of technology
I stumbled into #HumanMOOC. Well okay I have been hearing about it for awhile but I had not really planned to participate – so it was not like I just came upon it out of the blue. I saw this tweet that they were kicking things off with a conversation between Matt Crosslin and George…

How I Made the Most Out of Missing EDUCAUSE
The only thing worse than not being able to make it to a conference, that you really want to go to, is being able to make it to that conference but then having something get in the way. Lately I’d been wondering if EDUCAUSE was the right conference for me to be attending now that…

Dancing with #dlrn15
Let’s get the wishes/regrets of #dlrn15 out of the way up front. I wish the questions would have come earlier – maybe instead of the streams as topics we could have had them as questions. I wish the search for truth, or Truth as the case may be, could have been teased out just a…

Public Space vs Wild Space: A #clmooc Reflection Without Much Background
I’m sad that I couldn’t find more time for #clmooc. But I think it might be fun that if I only get two posts in, that it be one at the beginning – my Untro – and one here at the end on public spaces. I was not sure what was going on when I…

Technologies, Taxonomies, and Acronyms! Oh My: A MOOC-ish Taxonomy
Lately, I’ve been coming across a lot of posts regarding definition around the MOOCs. So I thought I would collect some of what I am seeing on the web and in my own personal network into a blog post.
