The Chronicle of Higher Education discovers the Connectivism & Connected Learning course being offered by George Siemens and myself (just finishing its third exciting week). "Last month we wrote about a professor's experiment in 'open teaching,' in which he allowed anyone to take his online course and fully participate in discussions. Since then readers have alerted us to at least three other experiments in open teaching, in what appears to be a growing movement." I'm expecting more coverage, eventually. It will be interesting to see how traditional academic reacts to the idea of opening learning to, um, students. In the mean time, like he said, a growing movement.
