Summary Tuesday 22nd

Just a short summary today.

In today’s fishbowl hangout, amongst other things:

- Sheila predicted it would crash within a few minutes (5.28), but it didn’t!
- Penny asked about inquiry like approaches to learning design (7.48) (Anyone want to add something to Bibsonomy?) and told us about why she set up the Facebook group; she wanted the stream of chit-chat and ‘social glue’ (42.29)’ and wasn’t getting it from the other MOOC platforms.
- Art joined from Minnesota (10.35) but his Nexus 7 promptly choked. Fortunately, we’d heard about his fascinating ‘take it apart & put it back together’ computing course before the start.
- Will told us about (19.26) his social video editing project, giving us ideas about how we might use video differently in OLDS MOOC.
- And Rose spoke about the importance of context for learning (36.12) and explained participation in the Ecology of Resource design framework (51.48).

We spoke about other stuff too and tried to address the questions from Twitter and the discussion thread. Some celebrated missing the fishbowl, surely that smiley is the wrong way round? While others found it “made the MOOC more human” and began to think about incorporating the format in their own learning designs. This week’s timing didn’t suit everyone and there must be ways the format can improved, so do share your ideas.

Tomorrow is for curating (guidance) the best of what you and others have done this week. If you spot great stuff recommend it for the week 2 summary. Bring it all together and spend a while reflecting on your achievements. Then think how you want to take this forward and remember you’ll always be welcome back to week 2 - inquire!

Josh, Katerina, Yishay, Rose
