In this video, I discuss briefly why I am taking the course.  I’m very much interested in innovative social learning approaches.  I’ve experimented a little with my own online teaching in the past.  I design online learning environments so the way this course works is inherently interesting to me.

But I also want to be engaged in socially activities and to collaborate on projects that are meaningful outside the boundaries of my work.  I like to write and research ideas and so one of my goals for the class is to take the next steps to get myself writing on one of my book, course, or other tangible written product ideas and get it out there — free, barterable, or reasonably priced.
