Your reflection that a MOOC is close to an optimal learning environment for you, combined with your comments about the real value of university education, makes me wonder about how other learning experiences could inform your choice about optimal learning environment. In your profile, you seem to have a great deal of experience in the outdoors. I wonder how reflecting on the learning you've done in other parts of your life helps you think about the concept of accountability- the piece you think is lacking for you in a MOOC. How does boating, fatherhood or mountaineering inform your thinking about your accountability as a learner?onewheeljoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932066679302568145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240540941915654142.post-21747603575129581122012-01-04T08:14:40.267-08:002012-01-04T08:14:40.267-08:00Ben, I found the Jeffrey Keefer post.

Without a central focus or location, it can be quite a challenge to develop a sense of community, or networked learning perspective. Yes, I am begining to comment on more blogs of other participants, as well as increase my Tweeting, though I am still struggling to be able to connect with others in more than a passing way". Seems to me that his goal is similar to the idea you propose.<br /><br />http://silenceandvoice.com/2011/10/26/making-sense-of-complexity-engaging-others-in-change11/gjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474784312439611193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240540941915654142.post-43158656133855843142012-01-04T07:59:18.620-08:002012-01-04T07:59:18.620-08:00I too was taken by Quinn's session.

As a newcomer to all things tech, my experience as been somewhat akin to "a high-speed data-processing machine, a human HAL" ( Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, p. 16). Quinn challenged me to begin moving in a less chaotic direction. <br /><br />Your idea of establishing a small group of people to work together, doing some collaborative work and so on, is superb. I'm not aware if any such partnerships have been established in Change, although I recall that Jeffrey Keefer wrote a post about this some time ago. I'm happy to explore this idea with you---how might Change participants be approached? Issue a call for ideas/suggestions/burning issues? <br /><br />The video used be Quinn: Father Guido Sarducci teaches what an average college graduate knows after five years from graduation in five minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8x8eoU3L4gjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474784312439611193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240540941915654142.post-58359597670572755132012-01-04T07:36:29.551-08:002012-01-04T07:36:29.551-08:00Ben, it's Father Guido Sarducci's 5 Minute...Ben, it's Father Guido Sarducci's 5 Minute University (Comedian Don Novello): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8x8eoU3L4Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822235162664957878noreply@blogger.com
