What I Learned From Books This Summer
#change#etmooc#loptis. Ritorno
L’estate e il caldo mi debilitano. Ecco spiegato il lungo e prolungato silenzio che deliberatamente ho mantenuto, assecondando un naturale istinto di sopravvivenza. L’attività, qui non manifesta, si è spostata su Flickr a cui ho affidato scoperte, sorprese, più o meno piacevoli, esplorazioni…
Ginevra, la mia cagnetta, oramai è diventata la mia vivace compagna di passeggiate e, al contempo, veicolo di una comprensione più approfondita anche dei comportamenti uomini.…

Open Online Experience 2013
Open Online Experience 2013 (#OOE13)
From the work of Alec Couros (U. of Regina) and many other creators of Etmooc, comes Open Online Experience 2013 which begins September 4. I am one of the many co- creators of OOE13, having met my virtual colleagues online last spring while taking etmooc (Educational technology and media Mooc).…

MOOCS: Additional Reflections on Great (and Not-So-Great) Expectations
We’re far from finished with our efforts to determine how massive open online courses (MOOCs) will fit into our learning landscape, recently published articles and personal experiences continue to suggest.

Wanted
Reclusive SGM (Single Green Monster) seeks companionship and possible species regeneration. I enjoy sunsets, long swims underwater and terrifying the locals. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of me on my webcam. Bounty hunters need not apply.…
Datapalooza = Yelp.gov?
This is a response to President Obama’s recent initiative regarding higher education costs, value and affordability, but I will start by talking about Yelp.
I don’t like Yelp. I’m not as disestablishmentarian as Jaron Lanier (defining Wisdom of the Crowd as Mob Mentality), but I understand that multiple variables color the aggregation system on a company’s reviews, expertise perhaps one variable, perhaps not. …
