SUBJECT:   Elearning community Wed 6th February - Open Learning and MOOCs



The February e-Learning Community lunchtime seminar will be about Open Learning and MOOCs.



Open learning and MOOC are the buzzwords of the year.  Find out more this February!



Steve Stapleton will talk about the Paris Project http://comms.nottingham.ac.uk/learningtechnology/category/paris/ and some of the resources, particularly on sustainability,  that have been produced and have won awards. This will interest those who attended the December eLearning Community session and heard a bit about how the resources were turned into eBooks.



Sally Hanford and Helen Whitehead will talk about their experiences as students in MOOCs (Massive  Open Online Courses). What is a MOOC? http://comms.nottingham.ac.uk/learningtechnology/2013/01/03/what-is-a-mooc/



We will be joined via Skype by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong of Duke University in the US who teaches the "Think Again: How to Reason and Argue" MOOC course via Coursera: http://www.coursera.org/course/thinkagain



Date: Wednesday, February 6th, 2013



Time: 12.30 (hot drinks from 12.15)
