A Couple of Open Courses

There are quite a few courses now that are open to the world. The first one that I spotted online was George Siemens” course that explored the idea of working/learning/creating beyond the classroom. Today, I spotted another, and this (story, course) one is a little more ambitious – using the RPG framework to create a learning environment.

I remember doing something similar the last time I taught a grad course – but I remember having to do it out of necessity as there was no text for me to use and very little in the way of an outline for the course to go on, so I turned to online tools as ways to get my points across. It’s good to see that I was on the right track back then.
