EVO Electronic Village Online

 

Crafting the e-Perfect Textbook

This EVO session runs concurrently with MultiMOOC Jan 13-Feb 16

Its Google Community is an excellent model for what can be accomplished once the group achieves critical mass (at this writing, just hit 400 and climbing)

MOOC on Digital Curation

Started Jan 8, 2014

http://www.ht2.co.uk/ben/?p=527

 

This is just a two-week course and is run on the Curatr platfom. The course is at http://ht2.curatr3.com/courses/digital-curator/

You need to register with a password in order to access that, so not "open" in a purist's sense of the concept 

It's accessible from any device, as shown in the thumbnail above.

 

This video describes Curatr in 44 seconds: http://vimeo.com/80977003

Some of the features:

  • Allows comments on content which is revealed on clicks on graphics.  
  • Times to allow per click are indicated (usually just a few minutes each item) The course should take 2 to 4 hours per week
  • Awards experience points for tasks completed and uses these and gatekeeper questions to allow progress through the levels

 

Communications

The course pushes email out to registered participants, friendly and seemingly personal (address you personally, how's it going, etc)

There are two Tweetmeets on the tag #dcurate

There is a Hangout at the end of the course with select invitees, presumably those who score highest in the experience points leaderboard

 

Jan 14 update: 

255 have enrolled to date but only half that number have actually been into the course yet, so they've extended the course by another week! 
You now have until the 29th January to complete the course, or just hangout and chat.

Don't forget the second Twitter chat is on Thursday 16th January at 9pm UK time. If you missed the first one you can catch up here: http://storify.com/CredibleU/highlights-from-the-first-dcurate-twitter-chat

Further notes

 

Possibly the most comprehensive compendium of knowledge on the topic is Stephen Downes’s definitive archive of 587 postings on MOOCs from Aug 4 2008 to June 20, 2013 at http://www.downes.ca/mooc_posts.htm. He has also shared his 600 page ebook on the topic:

My last blog post on MOOCs specifically is here: http://advanceducation.blogspot.ae/2012/11/when-is-mooc-not-mooc-what-mooc-means.html

I've also drafted a book chapter entitled How connectivist learning reaches students through teacher professional development in which MOOCs figure quite heavily:
