Open Learning Network

It’s been a silent blog here for the past month, but in the light of openness, we decided to change this a bit and to make our course development activities public! 

Overall, it took us quite a while to get things online, but the design of the openEd 2.0 course is well on its way … the course finally got its name (Business and management competencies in a Web 2.0 world), and as important, it got its content, 10 modules at the end, namely:

·      Module 1 - Tools for Collaboration
·      Module 2 - Searching for information in business and management
·      Module 3 - Project Management
·      Module 4 - Developing personal skills in communication
·      Module 5 A1 - Understanding the research question
·      Module 5 A2 - Quantitative and qualitative analysis tools
·      Module 5 P1 - Introduction to the contemporary enterprise and managerial functions
·      Module 5 P2 - Project management advanced
·      Module 5 P3 - Change management
·      Module 6 - The Ethical Organisation
 
The course now is scheduled to start for the first time on November 1st, and there are still quite some things that need to be done over the coming weeks. Luckily all tasks are well assigned, Simon Cross, Patrick McAndrew & Doug Clow work on the quality assurance framework; James Aczel, Pascale Hardy, Hugo Magalhães, Mathias Rossi, Yannis Kalivas & Fanianna Gofa are about tofinalize the 10 course modules;Ioannis Stamelos, Eleni Konstantinou and Apostolos Kritikos work on all technical issues; Matty Smith and Elamar Husmann already started a membership consultation process within the European Learning Industry Group (ELIG), well, and I myself do a bit here and there.
 
If you fancy to join us in our development effort, be invited! At this point of time you might want to join our discussions, taking place here at our OLNet blog, or you can sign up at the Mailing list, which now also has went public. We also set up openEd 2.0 Course Development Area to help coordinating the development process and to allow you (and us) to keep an overview on what is going on, be equally invited to contribute to it ;-)
 
And off course, we equally welcome you to take the course ;-)
 
Best
