Erin and I are doing a whole range of things at the upcoming Digital Media and Learning conference. Including, maybe, what they call an ignite talk. Here is our proposal (which I can’t take credit for – besides a short conversation in the back of a NY Cab). I look forward to creating some “vivid [...]
I am at the P2PU NY Camp organized by John Britton, and in one of today’s session Alan Webb led a brainstorm to identify additional ideas for long-term P2PU sustainability (see this page for our notes). And 5 minutes later this email from Beth Harris at Smarthistory (the amazing multi-media web book about art and [...]
MIT OCW just launched its first five MIT OCW Scholar courses. These courses are not just openly licensed, but especially designed to support independent learners who want to make use of them. That means, all the materials you need to master the subjects are now available to you. Bravo! Despite its resounding success (70 million [...]
Great quote / image about peer learning (thanks for forwarding, John Britton!).
Voila. Another insightful and funny artwork by P2PU’s illustrator-in-residence and grungefarmer Alison Jean Cole (and referencing John Britton‘s encyclopedic knowledge of Steve Colbert’s work). Is P2PU a threat bigger than bears? Do sharks look good in P2PU t-shirts? As always, more answers than questions … The not entirely joking background to this illustration comes from [...]
This is my first posting for the Open Governance course, which I am both facilitating and participating in (yes, peer learning at its best). The assignment, readings and links to other participants’ posts are all on this page: http://p2pu.org/node/5618/forums/9614 I wont’ go into a lot of detail on the content of the readings, but they deal [...]
At Peer 2 Peer University, we pride ourselves in being an open education community. I have a fairly good idea what it means for content or software to be open, but I find the complex human dynamics that make up open communities much more intriguing than the arguments over which license is the right one. [...]
John put together a proposal (see below) to talk about Mozilla/P2PU School of Webcraft at SXSW Interactive (an amazing geek fest in case you haven’t heard of it). We need your help to get to Austin, Texas: Please register for an account on the panel picker website: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/users/register Confirm your email address Vote up our [...]
Smack into the middle of summer break in the global North (and beautiful sunny winter days in Cape Town) comes the P2PU Call for Courses. We already asked for your ideas on Webdeveloper courses for the School of Webcraft a few weeks ago, and this is the call for courses by everyone, for everyone, about [...]
For the P2PU School of Webcraft we are working on a map of competencies that web developers need. Besides the soft skills we refer to as hacker’s habits, there is a whole range of technologies and practical skills. A few months ago I had the chance to hold a box of crayons for Chris Blizzard [...]
