I am not sufficiently active in SCoPE to answer all your questions Sylvia, but I canĀ answer three of them
What have you liked about SCoPE? SCoPE is a very friendly and open community and does not discrimate against lurkers such as me :-)
How has SCoPE helped you? Sylvia was enormously helpful in a MOOC (FSLT12) that I recently worked on to design and run with Oxford Brookes University, UK. She not only offered us the use of the SCoPE Blackboard Collaborate site for our synchronous sessions, but also supported us in the use of this site and provided very valuable advice. We possibly could have run the MOOC without synchronous sessions, but it would not have been anywhere near as successful. What was particularly impressive was that we did not seek this help. Sylvia offered it to us and gave of her time freely.
What are your ideas for future activities?
- Continue cross boundary work which exemplifies best open practice - which is what the Oxford Brookes team were fortunate to experience
- Perhaps ask for feedback into the SCoPE community of this cross-boundary work.
Thank you Sylvia and the SCoPE community
Jenny (on behalf of myself and the Oxford Brookes team)
