Mozilla Open Education Course is GO!

The course will be starting up this Thursday, April 2nd. Hopefully I'll be on time for the I was one of several people to sign up for Mozilla's Open Education Course. Well, they announced their selection of participants, and I'm one of the chosen few. (Always fun to say. :P ) More specific, I am one of six participants that are classified as having "Web 2.0 Mash-up" projects.

To keep up to date with my participation in the course, I'll share the feed for the posts. Hopefully it works.

So this is perhaps not as open as it could be, but it is very open and accommodating. The limited number of official participants seems like the students who are getting credit for an open course. Since the seminars, wiki and blogs posts are open to the public in different ways, it makes sense. I think live attendance to the seminars and some other benefits are limited to the official participants. That's fine to me, because they are limiting their promises. Everything else is extra.

I'm looking forward to this as a way to learn and make contacts. As I said, I'm one of six who's projects are classified as "Web 2.0 mash-ups", so there are five others doing similar stuff. Then there are the others who are participating in this course. If things go really well, I might get some people interested in working with me. A few old servers, some knowledgeable help and connections would make accomplishing my ideas a whole lot easier.

For more information on this course you can head over to the Mozilla wiki. The participants, outline and description are all there.

Have fun, spread the word and tell me what you think,
