I’m participating in the course History and Future of (Mostly) Higher Education, the proceedings take place on the Coursera platform and the Professor is Cathy N. Davidson (Duke University). It’s not yet another course for professional teachers only:
This course is designed for anyone concerned with the best ways of learning and thriving in the world we live in now. It’s for students, teachers, professors, researchers, administrators, policy makers, business leaders, job counselors and recruiters, parents, and lifelong learners around the globe.
The course is massive, online, open and free, it contains videos, quizzes and assignments, yet it is different from many other Coursera, Udemy or edX-courses: Professor Davidson tries to transform her class into a community and the learning which so often is that of a ‘Doc on a Laptop’ into peer-to-peer learning. In this way her project is very related to the Peeragogy Handbook.
I’d love to be part of a reading and discussion group about the course, we could do that in Second Life, Google Plus or another platform… If you’re interested, let me know, I think it’s not too late to sign up for the course.

Hi Roland! Lovely meeting you at the FutureED meetup in SL today. I do like the idea of a reading… or activity… group. I think these sorts of things can really achieve that result of moving from “Doc on a Laptop” to something more engaging and enduring.
It’s great fun meeting in Second Life, it helps to keep up with the course and to think out of the box. I hope we can continue even after the course (HASTAC!)…
