Open Learning '19 (3-week cMOOC) Now open!

[Anita Walz]

Dear Colleagues, 

Open Learning ’19, a cMOOC about open learning now in its third iteration will begin on March 17th and run for three weeks. Week 1 is preceded by a “pre-cMOOC” week for anyone who is new to connected learning, new to MOOCs (and especially to cMOOCs) or new to open learning concepts. Starting on March 10th, all are welcome to join in for the pre-cMOOC week led by Gardner Campbell, Open Learning’s original hub director.

The schedule for Open Learning ’19:

3/10-3/16 Pre-week: Get started by reading this blog post, setting up your blog, Twitter, and Hypothesis accounts and looking around the site: http://openlearninghub.net  Step-by-step instructions on the "Join Up" link.

 

3/17-3/23 Week 1: Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Access

3/24-3/30 Week 2: Open Pedagogy

3/31-4/6 Week 3: Open Faculty Development

These are topics explored in previous iterations of Open Learning, and you will find a wealth of resources already on the Hub site: http://openlearninghub.net    

To begin, start tuning in to the hashtag on Twitter: #OpenLearning19 and syndicate your blog to the Hub (don’t have a blog, this is a great chance to start one!) and use #OpenLearning19 for relevant posts. See instructions in the “Join Up!” link.

From 2019 Hub Director: Sue Erickson, Virginia Wesleyan University

Enjoy!
