  • I am so excited to be living in a time of obvious infinite possibilities! THANK YOU for bringing this concept to the table.Or shall i say internet ! I truly believe\agree that by collaborating it maximizes the creativity,productivity,sustai­nability....., thus turning the ME into WE ! We are all already connected energetically(everything for that matter)(No pun intended!),This is a living breathing verification. LET'S MOOC !

  • This detailed explanation of a MOOC course has been very helpful. I have "dabbled""in participating in some MOOCs, but I think that I didn't understand the concept behind them. I am now lurking in the 15th week of a MOOC called Change: Education, Learning and Technology and have a better idea of how to navigate the chaos. Thanks!

  • Good stuff ;-)

  • Great stuff, thanks!
