2 weeks into the new year and its already been busier than I anticipated. I arrived back from a three week trip to India last weekend feeling lovely and relaxed and enjoying the envious looks from others at my sun kissed skin. Getting back into work was hard for the first few days. My brain had slipped quite nicely into just thinking about where to eat, which sun lounger to lay on and remembering to top up the SPF. 

Before my holiday, MOOCs were a hot topic in my working day and I’ve come back to find it’s still very high on my radar.  There seem to be new buzz words, people finding ways to differentiate one from the other, new pedagogy being discussed.. its quite fascinating to follow.

#etmooc has caught my interest as it’s a mooc focusing on networking and the interactions between attendees, rather than pushing out schedules and learning material and having the social aspect as an add on.

I work in Learning Technologies so am really excited to see what this MOOC turns out. The only blogging I’ve done before is on our companies internal social network so this is going to be a learning experience in itself!
