I did an interesting piece of consultancy work earlier in the year looking at the impact that Massive Open On-Line Courses have had to date on learners in Scotland from an institutional perspective.
It is actually quite hard to build an evidence base for this as the big platforms Coursera, EdX and Futurelearn usually supply IP addresses but not postcodes. However, in the course of my work I discovered one outlier that had engaged hundreds of learners in Scotland and I am now having a shot at this to see why ?
Have a look at #ulabscot if you want to explore this phenomenon with me
The natural cynic in me wonders if it will be as transformational as it promises but I am suspending my disbelief as everyone should when trying something for the first time.
You can find out more about the Scottish community of learners doing U-Lab here
I've now joined a vibrant global field of entrepreneurship and change that has reached over 85,000 people from 183 countries – with more joining every moment. Your fellow participants come from many different backgrounds and life experiences. You'll have a chance to get to know each other very soon.
This is an action-learning course, which means you'll be invited to do much more than just watch videos.
Here is my first bit of homework from the introductory course. This will give you a flavour of the U-Lab tasks
