A first foray into a MOOC
rebecca, 1093 - [Leitha] delves into eLearning, January 19, 2011.

This tends to be my position too: despite a wealth of experience in a variety of fields - or maybe because of it - I assume others to have greater, indepth knowledge. Jumping in at the deep end is sometimes the only way to go and you surprise yourself when you find yourself swimming along with everyone else! Good luck! [Comment]

How do you read through it all and keep up with everything? #cck11
Darren Hill, 1067 - Discovery Through eLearning, January 18, 2011.

If people actively tag when they create or encounter content it can help others find /filter content. Guess this would help address AKs concerns in his comment on this blog page. [Comment]

Learning to Understanding an "-Ism"
hamtra@gmail.com (Tracy Parish), Discovery Through eLearning
Understanding this "connectivism" stuff is a little more challenging than I was expecting, but the more I look into it, the more I read, the more I watch....the more I think I might be starting to comprehend. I started by reading the first few items that were listed on the CCK11 board and thought "man what have I gotten myself into".  Then I listened to the webinar today and I thought "man what have I gotten myself into."  So I took one more crack at it tonight and listened, watched ....

Early concepts #CCK11
noreply@blogger.com (DaisyGrisolia), MOOC1
According to George Siemens, "the field of education has been slow to recognize both the impact of new learning tools and the environmental changes in what it means to learn. Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era."Siemens sets out the principles of connectivism as:Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.Learning may reside in non-....

Connectivism: Why faculty don't have to be quite so concerned about Wikipedia #CCK11
, TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Some of us celebrated, while others mourned the tenth anniversary of Wikipedia this past week. Those who were cheering likely reveled in the revolution of knowledge acquisition models and crowd-sourced quality control. Those who have been critical of Wikipedia, expressed their concerns over the lack of control over the information and presumed risk of outdated or inaccurate data.   As I begin a class on a learning theory referred to as Connectivism, I consider how greatly ....

Connectivism: just doesn't hit the nail on the head for me
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
So here are some thoughts on CCK11 for this first week - I've broken it down to both format and theory.Format:I like the fact that this is a distributed blog MOOC. It gives me an opportunity to see what people are writing on their personal blogs, in addition to the CCK content that they post. It's also a nice way of filtering information for me since I don't have a waterfall of information coming down on me, as it would have been if we were using a forum. At the same time, I ....
