Open Education Europa 09 May 2013

Hashtag for folks in advancement using social media. Also the tag for a bimonthly Twitter chat (second and fourth Tuesdays of every month, 2-3PM ET) on advancement-related social media topics, co-moderated by higher ed professionals and CASE.

Version 3) My submission for the the 2013 Saylor Foundation Digital Education Conference. www.saylor.org/posters-2/ My poster/meme is targeted at exposing the mixed bag of what people mean by the term Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC. As with many trending topics, many people and institutions have jumped on the MOOC bandwagon, but have little shared understanding of what they actually are, or what they are useful for. By adding prompts around the potential meaning of each letter, I wanted to represent visually the fuzziness of the concept, and the need to develop a better taxonomy of what it means to learn online. Although I have represented this concept visually myself, I would not have come up with the idea without attending Educon in Philadelphia in January 2013. I borrowed the tagline from Jon Becker, Assistant Professor at VCU. CC By Mathieu Plourde, 2013 #digedcon #moocposter
