They are only a small group of a dozen students, but over the last few months, my elearning module group has created a very large amount of content, including blogs, wiki pages and videos.

So I started asking around, bugging individuals and querying social media. Udemy – the MOOC provider may let users create classes there. A client asked me this question last week, and I really didn’t have a solid answer ready to hand, since most of my work to date has involved institutions.

The first question is the following: How many of you in this room go onto your personal social media while you are working? Instead of teachers coming in on certain professional learning days, if they were to blog or share actual work and link it back to a simple google doc, they could earn days in lieu through the process.

He’s credited with co-teaching the first MOOC in 2008, introduced the theory of “connectivism”—the idea that knowledge is distributed across digital networks—and spearheaded research projects about the role of data and analytics in education. Blogs, wikis and social media, on the other hand, are distributed across networks.
