Here’s a free online course on how this thinking process can be integrated into a variety of school subject areas. Consider it a MOOC that could help you bond with your school’s comps

An awesome report, with a lot of good info. I think the cutting edge of MOOC is neither it being open nor online but it being massive. Massive in a sense that it pulverizes the arbitrary educational silos and enables us to composite different disciplines. Now that is revolutionary! Looking forward to FLL summit 2016…

There is a long story behind this, but the short version is simple: It was only when we found EdCast that we began to have any serious thought that we actually could pursue the world of MOOCs in a meaningful way. The hopelessly Victorian-style approach applied by Coursera and EdX to the world´s education and learning challenge will effectively be their downfall in the public domain. Their world will be commercial. We approached them, and the question was this: Are you one of the top 100 universities in the world? And you can read the rest of that story here…..:

What caught my eye i this excellent source of inspiration — and which will be a theme in a coming Future Learning Lab workshop for sure, was this:
"Over the next decade, the most vibrant innovations in education are likely to take place outside traditional institutions. These institutions face
a critical dilemma: how to reconcile bottom-up developments in educational with the traditional top-down hierarchy that is currently in place.
This 2020 Forecast illuminates how we are shifting toward a culture of creation in which each of us has the opportunity—and the responsibility— to make our collective future. We are seeing “educitizens” define their rights as learners and re-create the civic sphere. Networked artisans and ad hoc factories are democratizing manufacturing and catalyzing new local economies. These creators are highlighting the significance of cooperation and cross-cultural intelligence for citizenship and economic leadership.
Together, these forces are pushing us to create the future of learning as an ecosystem, in which we have yet to determine the role of educational institutions as we know them today."

Thanks for inviting me. this will be an important group. Can we use it to post interesting articles?
Yes we can. Meanwhile, here is a link to a website coming up in not too long, with a couple of important dates in October 2015. How about gracing the event with your presence as one of the expert panelists who will review papers? We received 40K from UiA for it, and if ADILA can join in with a similar amount we can run a small surplus that we can use to subsidize PhD students to come and present their papers. fallworkshop2015.futurelearninglab.org/facebook/
Sure. Have you invited Maurice to the group?
