It isn’t #etmooc’s Fault: Find Your Own Slice of Learning

Should we concentrate on making a MOOC less overwhelming, or should we rather concentrate on making our learning process better? What role does our own empowerment play in finding the right “slice of learning”?

Thank you to Darren Kuropatwa for inspiring this idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m_PaAFRtxc

Hand-Made Learning: Games, not Gamification

I have been inspired by Caine’s arcade for a while now, but I am not the only one. Michael Smith has also been inspired by the hand-made arcade, and has transformed it into a teaching and learning experience for his students. I encourage you to think about how you create hand-made learning experience for your learners, and how you can use games and play to create authentic experiences.
