- The document discusses the Open Content Licensing 4 Educators (OCL4Ed) MOOC, which teaches about open educational resources and open licensing. - OCL4Ed practices what it teaches by using only openly licensed course materials and hosting the course on open source software. - In January 2012, the course had over 1,000 enrolled students from 87 countries who generated thousands of posts on discussion forums and social media. - Feedback from students was positive about the thorough content but raised questions about the complex course structure across multiple platforms and need to better coordinate facilitators.

6. Have You Seen
1-800-I’M-LOST
Complex confusing
structure
Two versions of course
- one in WikiEducator
another in Moodle
Three different
microblog options.
Choose one over
another?
Why even need to
microblog?
Relationship of
pedagogy to
technology used?
Coordinate& distribute
facilitators roles in
advance.

7. Great Gallon Give
Open registration vs.
open license – do
both, go open all the
way.
Help participants find
peers with a common
role/interest.
Establish mechanism
for peers to directly ask
questions or initiate
discussion with each
other.
Leverage massive
participation - have all
students contribute
something that adds to
or improves the course
overall.
