MOOC's ???


Well surviving this far!  Day 14 of my adult education journey the tears have stopped.
 No;  I' am not dehydrated. I think I to a certain extent I have found my footing... Certainly would not go as far as to say "I found my groove". But building acceptance and confidence as I go.

Reading assignment 2 - The blog... my newest nemesis!  Capable of causing...
teary eyes. Though the blog is built, this is still overwhelming. and due December 1st.

I surmise,  if I had understood technology better I would not be as overwhelmed.

 Questioning what am I reading ?  Acronym's ... Mooc's, PBL's

There is a lot to be said about about clear language, When did life get condensed into smiley faces or just letters. So I look them up, PBL- with regards to adult learners leads me to Problem based learning- A case study technique, students get real problems and brainstorm, and hypothesize solutions.  Ok... make sense.

Now Mooc's - Massive Open Online Courses I have heard of such a premise years ago and assumed it to be a fad! Fearing a Henry Ford quote; " Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or Eighty"  I continued to research.

In my resource section I have posted 6 links that found very informative.

In the words of  Goldsmith in those Dos Equis commercials " Stay Hungry my Friends"
