#ETMOOC – Tra new literacies, video e sondaggio

Rifletto su due questioni che # etmooc propone per la settimana in corso: a) new literacies b) sondaggio; incomincio da quest’ultima dato che qui il confronto è stato più coinvolgente.

  2. cosa più preziosa appresa,
  3. aspetto più impegnativo,
  4. suggerimenti per migliorare le performance dei “cospiratori”,
  5. occupazione primaria dell’ intervistato,
  6. partecipazione a xMooc / cMooc,
  7. contemporanea partecipazione ad altri Mooc,
  8. Paese,
  9. disponibilità per un’eventuale intervista futura o focus group.

Individuati i contenuti emotivi per me coinvolgenti, ho compreso di aver trovato anche la risposta: la trasmissione settimanale dedicata alla lingua italiana da Radio3di cui ho parlato nel precedente articolo.…
