Not about writing, but about how we are (1) trying to add information to and (2) trying to use information from the enormous "knowledge bubble" [my term] that we are seeing created by each MOOC.

Everyone else may have looked at this article and its comments, too, but there is so much good back-and-forth in the comments that I didn't want to take the chance that it would be missed. Get ready for some spirited sparring! --and it even relates to our QEP discussions, too!

Anything mentioning Mark Taylor, even in a note, is worthwhile. I am 100% for letting more dynamic, not to mention knowledgeable and "professional" speakers, take that role from me, as well as from other college teachers, or supplement what I bring to my classes.

Please note this post and its comments (Downes' is a good blog to follow, too, btw). This is a "line" with which we are familiar--private vs. public student writing. Are we prepared to argue in support of "the wild, wide open"? Should we be appeasers and give our faculty the choice? *Let's discuss as a workshop topic.*
