E-learn Weblog of Willem van Valkenburg

Mark Vinegar is organising a MOOC on Mobile Learning on Blackboard's Coursesites-platform. Winegar is an independent mobile learning consultant and podcaster with previous careers as a software engineer and professor of computer science.

The course description is:

Teachers can learn how to infuse their teaching with new mobile learning strategies by participating in the free Mobile Learning MOOC at Coursesites by Blackboard beginning August 27, 2012.

This new learning experience provides 16 weeks of training on topics ranging from authentic assessment to video podcasting. Learning is self-paced with rich multimedia and readings available 24X7. Participants can share their thoughts with other in forums and attend weekly live discussions.

The course is a MOOC, so it is free to participate, but you can also view the course as a guest. You can access the course via coursesites.com and after registration via Blackboard Mobile Learn App (institute is CourseSites).
