Massive Open Online Course

Just signed into #PLENK2010, (connect.downes.ca) the newest MOOC offering from George Siemens, Stephen Downes, et al. The course is just getting underway but already an interesting group of folks introducing themselves in the intro forum. Lots of assorted interests and points of view; still hoping to catch some folks who may have a bent towards eportfolio and the aggregation of personal learning environments/networks into a "central portal" for assessment, career planning, showcase, etc. in such a way as to offer value, integrity and opportunities to assess learning (and teaching) performance.

I suspect there will be some great opportunities to talk about some of the same issues that are plaguing the portfolio/eportfolio world in areas like identity, privacy, integrity, honesty, etc. Good stuff! More to post as we proceed through this innovative 10-week open course.
