The Open and Connected Learning Mooc is an opportunity for educators and learners in Alberta and around the globe to :
- share ideas and best practices for learning in an open online environment
- connect with learners from Alberta (and potentially around the globe)
- share ideas, tools & supports related to connected and open learning
- model free and open learning for everyone and anyone who wants to learn
Think of #OCLMooc as a hybrid between a course and community; there will be scheduled webinars, shared resources and suggested activities each week but the emphasis will be on the development of connections – between ideas, information, and competencies, but also, and perhaps most importantly, between people. We hope that participants will develop a network of co-learners from Alberta that they continue to learn with long after the course is finished.
Everyone is welcome to participate, no matter what their ability/confidence with technology and connected learning. There will be tutorials and support for those who need them. You are invited to participate at the level that works for you. If you want to jump in right from the start and participate in all of the activities that is great. If you don’t have the time, or just want to lurk at first, that is fine too.
