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

This semester, students at 16 colleges and students in their own homes will join together to take the first DOCC -- Distributed Open Collaborative Course -- developed by FemTechNet. The course, called "Feminism and Technology," uses feminist pedagogy principles to focus on a distributed pedagogical approach that allows many contributors - professors at various institutions, guest lecturers, and the students themselves - to exchange ideas and shape learning.
