I was encouraged to start this blog, engaged with Twitter in a more meaningful way and learned about quad blogging although I have reservations about the value of this. However at one point I posted on Facebook about the overwhelming amount of http://nigelsmooc.blogspot.com/2013/02/why-i-dropped-out-of-edcmooc.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199516511605019106.post-2247389305276029633Sat, 29 Dec 2012 00:25:00 +00002012-12-29T00:25:14.945+00:00 I visited my sister today and we discussed the use of on line social media and in particular Facebook and Twitter. My sister and her husband are early 60s, I am late 50s ( ooh that hurts) my niece and partner mid 30s and nephew 30. It was interesting to hear my brother in law sounding quite surprised when I said I used Facebook, I explained why and he sort of understoodhttp://nigelsmooc.blogspot.com/2012/12/attitudes-to-on-line-social-media.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199516511605019106.post-5615023571815316256Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:44:00 +00002012-12-17T08:44:45.513+00:00 Here are the deatils of the four members of #EDCMOOC quad 2.

I am not sure what I will get from this but it seems worthwhile to give it a go. There are so many suggestions coming from the people enrolled on the Elearning and Digital Cultures MOOC that, as I posted in FaceBook in the #edcmooc group, it can become overwhelming.

Thanks to Eric Clark for making me aware on #EDCMOOC I am amazed that how much activity is going on at #EDCMOOC prior to the course starting. One thing I was sort of aware of but have had confirmed via #EDCMOOC is the bewildering array of e-learning application available. I am interested in how Triberr works and what it offers me. http://nigelsmooc.blogspot.com/2012/12/triberr-test.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199516511605019106.post-5255127828499991665Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:50:00 +00002012-12-03T14:50:33.794+00:00 Up until the announcement by the admin of the E-Learning and Digital Cultures MOOC I had not used Twitter much, in fact I could not see the point as most tweets I had seen were things like ' I am at Aunt Flo's and just had a cup of tea' with a reply of 'enjoy' to be fair this was in the early days.

On Monday I attended the Panopto user forum at Northampton University which had over 50 attendees and 30 universities represented. There was a presentation by Eric Burns the CTO and founder of Panopto who gave an overview of the road map and future developments but most useful was thehttp://nigelsmooc.blogspot.com/2012/11/lectur-capture-week.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199516511605019106.post-188866847348380661Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:08:00 +00002012-11-15T20:08:17.169+00:00 My work at Abertswyth University is involved with ICT and audio visual provision and over the last four years I have been evangelising about the use of lecture capture in Higher Education. I was largely responsible for the adoption of Panopto lecture capture at Abersywtyh University. It seemed a natural step to investigate MOOCs and I thought there was no better way other than enrol onhttp://nigelsmooc.blogspot.com/2012/11/why-i-am-doing-this-course.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)2
