This connectivism keeps messing with my time management aspirations.
\nProdded by Alec Couros’ tweet<\/a> referencing Kevin Stranack’s “Guerrilla Connectivism<\/a>“, and inspired by Roy Beasley’s “Confessions of a MOOC Dropout<\/a>“, I posted the following “Reply All” last evening in response to a college-wide email promoting Coursera’s Aboriginal Worldviews & Education<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Would any Aurora College staff be interested in going through it together as a cohort? With our shared northern context, we could add value to our own learning by meeting for online or teleconference discussions and\/or discussion forums.\u00a0 Sort of build our own support structure around the free Coursera course.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Only 24 hours later, I have four takers from four different campuses! \u00a0And that’s just from the diehards who check work email on weekends.\u00a0 In the MOOC world where “massive” is measured in 3 to 6 figures, it’s a speck; in my world where two talking is a success, it’s overwhelming.\u00a0 Looks like it’s time to put my money where my mouth is (no wait – “invest my time where my typing fingers have made promises” ?? – more accurate, but just doesn’t have the same ring to it.)\u00a0 Once again, ideas from a MOOC launch me into an activity that takes away time I’d like to spend actively participating in the MOOC that launched me.\u00a0 This time I’ll blame\/credit #etmooc. \u00a0Well, I have wondered about all the hype\/trash-talk about xMOOCs.\u00a0 Guess I’ll see.\u00a0 Aboriginal Worldview is certainly a relevant topic for me.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll even have time to blog it.<\/p>\n

Did I mention that our college President is second among the respondents?\u00a0 I wonder if the domain name “connectivistevangelist” is taken\u2026 or maybe “outonalimb”.<\/p>\n
