Following up on a LinkedIn post from Jörg Pareigis I rambled through some of the documentation on the Open Networked Learning course. "By building on the frameworks of PBL and Networked learning, we want to further explore how these frameworks can be utilized to create open, collaborative and online learning environments. An intention in designing the course is to develop a community of practice that can enhance understanding of what personal learning networks and environments can mean and how these can be built." Though of course nobody is calling it a MOOC, it shares some things in common with our experiments from the 2000s, including the ARRFF model (that they fall FISh, illustrated) and free registration. Its next start date is February 23.
