Open Learning

My first post should be about why I started this blog… so …

I’m joining http://openlearninghub.net to collaborate with other professionals on “open.”

• Open learning
• Open education
• Open access
• Open collaboration

I’m hoping to learn and share where we go and how we get there.

This is my first experience with a MOOC and after reading some of the introductory materials and other people’s blogs, I’m concerned I won’t have enough time, experience, or drive to communicate the way I need to in this new medium.

I’ve always been a lurker.  I watch what everyone else is saying and doing, but I have a tendency not to contribute.  Partially because I feel other people have more experience or better information to contribute and partially because I’m a natural observer (I love people watching).

I’m going to make a concerted effort to get out of my comfort zone and fully contribute to this experience.  Thank you for your patience and kindness.
