Now that Open Ed 2008 is over (I think I’ve written more PHP in two weeks than in the past two years to kick out the re-release of our open educational resources mod for Moodle … more on that next week), I am finally able to direct my energies toward the Next Project: an all-day pre-conference workshop for the 2008 WCET conference held this November in Phoenix, AZ. This workshop is titled Creating Personal Learning Environments with Web 2.0, and I’ll be collaborating with the inestimableChris Lott and Scott Leslie on what we hope to be an engaging, informative, and applicable day building and exploring learning-ways with Web-based tools.
We are planning the workshop along two tracts: one for Web 2.0 “beginners” and one for “veterans”, though that may change depending on audience needs. We’ll be covering topics such as blogging, researching online, productivity anywhere, and mashing up your learning environment.
You can take a look at our early drafts of these tracts on Scott’s wiki, and you can register for WCET and the pre-conference workshop right now, at an extended Early-Bird rate.
Certainly if you plan or want to participate in this workshop, send us feedback on what will be most valuable to you.
