Rhizomatic Learning - course starting in 10 days (or so)

Hey folks,

Just saying Hi… as per instructions in course guide. Not totally comfortable with designing here yet, but i’m wandering around trying to see how things work. I keep getting the feeling that I’m missing an ‘administration’ button or something, but it could just be that the controls have been totally set on the user side - which i can understand. Anyone who wants to wander over and provide some advice is MORE than welcome!

Hi Dave, Great to reconnect with you here! Let me know what I can do to help!

Hey John! Long time no chat. Has anyone done an intro screencast to doing admin on the courses?

Hi @coarsesalt :smile:

A few topical comments:

"Empowering language:

On the course web page:
“In each of my classes the curriculum is, of course”
“In each of our classes” ?

Blog Post 1:
“and a strong focus on giving people specific things to do.”
“and a strong focus on learners selecting things to do

Marketing / framing

  • I <3 rhizomes. But what are they? And why is the structure different? Attractive? What urgent issue or trend does “rhizomatic” learning solve? I would put a bit there on defining a rhizome and a call to action. I like the bits of definition from this post (http://davecormier.com/edblog/2012/12/13/trying-to-write-rhizomatic-learning-in-300-words/) perhaps cull a bit from there?
  • I know the sections will be filled in as you go, but I might start with some provocative questions. (Aside I seem to remember a post of yours about cheating as learning that I thought was great–but can’t find it now?) I might label each section with a provocative question, or list provocative questions in the buckets.

Learning design / community as curriculum

At any rate, I know we plan to connect tomorrow, but I wanted to draft ideas here. :smile:

Thanks for the feedback.

Here’s the plan that I’m hoping to roll out… http://davecormier.com/edblog/2013/12/29/unravelling-a-model-for-an-open-course/
