etmooc

Today I came across Lisa Lane’s (http://lisahistory.net/wordpress/2012/08/three-kinds-of-moocs/) wonderful article on the 3 kinds of moocs based on network, task, or content and the provenance and the purpose of each.  An excellent working hypothesis. I agree with Robert Maxwell’s comment (http://bioramaxwell.blogspot.com/)  In the discussion of all that I came upon the mention of ds106 (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jimgroom/ds106-the-open-online-community-of-digital-storytellers). It has an interesting video on it, much like a YouTube.  Jim Groom of Univ of Mary Washington in VA started it.  This is certainly an interesting site and shows what community collaboration can do, and hence fits more into “network-based” now; maybe in the future it will become more task or content-based.
