Main aim and objective of the latest MOOC Change: Education, Learning and Technology, is to help course participants “become accomplished creators and critics of ideas and knowledge”. I realy hope to become that one day, which is why I signed up for the course yesterday, and why I created this blog today.
Off course I wish to learn from the leading experts in the field and connect with learners and practitioners all over the world.
And my concrete goals in terms of my selfdirected learning skills are to:
- organise and structure information, knowledge, networks and the way I use technologies to learn
- experiment with new technologies for learning – eg. running my own blog to reflect my learning and professional practice
- design courses that support people in becoming accomplished creators and critics of ideas and knowledge
Sounds like a life project at the moment but I make the first step and click on “update”!
Hi Anastasia,
though we two could speak German together I try my very best in English…
I love your idea of starting a new blog to accompany your own process of self-directed learning. It is refreshing to start something new, isn’t it? As I abandon myself to the same impulse I started a new blog too, yesterday: http://lernkult.posterous.com
I would love to keep in touch and to study together somehow.
Greetings from Germany

Hello Dörte! Thanks for your message and the link to your blog. It looks realy nice and reads nice in english too
. We are now connected and I look forward to a lively exchange of ideas. This is my first participation in a MOOC and my first blog ever, so I am very happy that you contacted me and very excited about how connections work! I ‘m also quite worried about how I will manage to cope with the load of information and communication in the course. What were your experiences in the German MOOC you participated? Maybe you care to write a blog about the strategies you used to cope with that? Its just a suggestion.
In this sense: Lets connect and start learning
Greetings from Graz! Anastasia
Hi Natasa,
I love to observe how you are doing things
And at least I’m networking with one person of the MOOC
Bye, Jutta
