MOOCers in Action
This image was taken at the Faculty of Chemical Technology of the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic, where I teach most of my time ESP and this piece of art decorating the faculty corridors reminded me of what our #edcmooc community looks like. And what is really funny, is the fact proving it is us - MOOCers in the pic, as the SW on my tablet has immediately offered me the Face tag function

My brief reflection on the course
EDCMOOC Hangout #1
EDCMOOC Hangout #2
EDCMOOC Hangout #1
Reflections on the first Hangout in the course:
Watching the Hangout of the Week 1 was a very interesting experience for me. I did a kind of self-reflection on my teaching and learning at the same time. I was a learner making notes and ordering my thoughts on what has happened in MOOC so far and at the same time I was watching the professors closely - what they did during that week, how they manage the content, how they deal with excessive workload :-)
Some stats:
EleniZazani The #edcmooc G+ Hangout generated 729 tweets and 133 comments in the G+ page. Such a shame I missed the live version @EDCMOOC
EDCMOOC Hangout #2
The second hangout was a very useful experience again. This time I was able to watch it online and I also took notes and participated in Twitter discussion. Good experience with mutlitasking
