  2. Background

  3. Open Academic Practice • Aggregate • Filter, select and gather information meaningful to the individual, • Remix • Interpret this information bringing one’s own perspective and insights, • Repurpose • Refashion it to suit individual purposes, and then • Feed forward • Share it with others, to learn from each other • Explicit pedagogical perspective • Social constructivist, dialogic, actor networks • Distributed, OS platform • WordPress, Moodle, Wikis • Intentional social media conversations Approach The other kind of MOOC embraces a simple business ideology, and as such is almost the antithesis to [this] kind.

  4. “The course aims to develop and extend your knowledge, understanding and skills of teaching and learning in higher education.” • “A key principle of the course is learner autonomy” • “… encourage participant interaction and open sharing of resources, learning, thoughts and ideas.”

  5. Platform

  7. In retrospect it all worked well but I remember feeling at the time a bit lost. As I am new to the MOOC learning, I was at first a bit lost as it was such a multi-channel learning, incorporating listening, reading, discussion, thinking all most at the same time This MOOC surpassed my expectations in terms of content and engagement. The "live virtual classrooms" really made the difference. The micro teach was not clear and the organisation was a little late It was a challenging as much as enriching experience. Challenging because it was the first time for me to engage with a MOOC…; enriching because I learnt a lot from the experience on a number of different levels It was illuminating and empowering at the same time to learn in such a clear way the value of CPD, reflection and what professionalism means. Having taken a number of MOOCs this one encouraged my participation at a more thoughtful level than previous sessions. assessed students were the real students and we other on the border I don't like the use of different sites - it is very confusing.
