Rheingold U: higher ed for happy mutants
Howard Rheingold sez, "Rheingold U. is a totally online learning community, offering courses that usually run for five weeks, with five live sessions and ongoing asynchronous discussions through forums, blogs, wikis, mindmaps, and social bookmarks. In my thirty years of experience online and my six years teaching students face to face and online at University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, I've learned that magic can happen when a skilled facilitator works collaboratively with a group of motivated students. The first course, 'Introduction to Mind Amplifiers,' ran in two sessions in January, February, and March, 2011. Live sessions include streaming audio and video from me and from students, shared text chat and whiteboard, and my ability to push slides and lead tours of websites. Future classes will cover advanced use of personal knowledge tools, social media for educators, participatory media/collective action, social media issues, introduction to cooperation studies, network and social network literacy, social media literacies, attention skills in an always-on world."...Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/nXSSm1TuIzM/rheingold-u-higher-e.html
