This free 17-week online course developed by the Educational Development Centre of Otago Polytechnic begins this week. It is "designed to help both formal and informal learners access and interpret models, research and professional dialog in the facilitation of online communities."

The course is facilitated by Leigh Blackall and incorporates the following core tools for participation:
1. Course content at WikiEducator
2. Discussion at Google Groups
3. Live session via Elluminate
4. Blogging

Week 1 is a course orientation and kicks of with a live session at UTC 22:00 (see world clock). We will be exploring various tools, and rolling up our sleeves to facilitate a mini-conference in October. All details can be found on the course Wiki.

Hope to see you there!
