Loading ...Trying to sum up my experience in #ETMOOC is an impossible task. How does one begin to put into words that which is felt by the heart? Furthermore, how can a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) bring about such a feeling? As Alec Couros (course visionary and facilitator, professor of educational technology and media, researcher and keynote speaker) stated, “We all decided to walk through the same door on the internet so we could think together.” Catherine Cronin reflected on the power of open and connected learning in her blog, MOOCs: Community as Curriculum.…
