Hello!
My name is Tasha Brown and this blog will fulfill the requirements for AHE 602: Problems in Higher Education: MOOCs. Currently I am an Instructional Designer at the University of Alabama.
As a student enrolled in this course, I am interested in how MOOCs are reshaping learning at higher education institutions. I would like to know the impact MOOCs are having on online learning and gain ideas from MOOCs as it relates to design, engagement, structure, etc. and apply them to courses I design. While I have read about MOOCs, I have not taken one. Thus, I look forward to completing and critiquing one along with creating my own micro-MOOC.
I think this course will be interesting and a continuing learning experience as MOOCs evolve.
Tasha,
ReplyDeleteI think we may have met before, my name is Keith!
LOL! Felt like I haven't seen you and Mark in ages. It was nice seeing you yesterday. :)
DeleteHi Tasha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a nice introduction! I also like that you are interested in learning about MOOCs for their potential as a pedagogical model. It will be interesting to see what we think about that aspect of them by the end of the term.
Looking forward to a good one!
