IOE12 Badge Time?

In January this year I spotted a tweet by a colleague who had decided to try out the Introduction to Openness in Education (#ioe12) MOOC (Massively Open Online Course). The course content sounded interesting and it provided me with a free and easy way to try online learning, so I decided to give it a go.

It’s taken me 6 months to write a post about every module (with a couple of observational posts thrown in):

• IOE12, MOOCs and Vegetarianism (January 11, 2012)
• Module 1: #ioe12 Coffee Breaks with a Little Open Licensing Thrown In (January 27, 2012)
• MOOC – The Online Trend for Career Pursuers (February 7, 2012)
• Module 2: Open Sourcing for #ioe12 (February 13, 2012)
• Module 3: The Meaning of Open Content #ioe12 (February 23, 2012)
• Massive Open Online Course crib sheet (February 25, 2012)

• Module 5: Openness in Education (March 14, 2012)
• Module 6: Open Access: It’s All About the Money? (April 2, 2012)
• Module 7: Open it Up: Introducing Open Science (April 16, 2012)
• Module 8: Open Data Now! (April 25, 2012)
• Professional Development Using Open Content (April 30, 2012)
• Module 9: Multiplying the Benefit: Open Teaching (May 15, 2012)
• Module 10: Badge On: Open Assessment (May 24, 2012)
• Module 11: Open Business Models (June 12, 2012)
• Module 12: Open Policy: the Opposite of Open is Broken (June 25, 2012)

To get the OpenEd Overview course badge I need to link to all my posts (which I’ve done) and announce my intent to have completed the badge. Which I’m doing now! I’ve also emailed David Wiley – just to be double sure!

Once I get my badge I’ll finish with a summing up post telling you about all the things I’ve learned.
