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 4: Keeping the Magic: Open Course Ware (March 6, 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.
Can I see your badge?
Hi Richard,
Still waiting for it. I’m a little confused about how I get it. I’ve written a post listing all my blog posts about the modules, I’ve also announced my intent to complete the OpenEd Overview badge, now I’m just waiting. I’m assuming something will get posted to http://openeducation.us/badges-earned, though maybe I’m wrong and I need to do something else??? Have also emailed David Wiley to ask – though I guess he is busy.
Any ideas?
Marieke
Any update on your badge?
