Colleagues/
I am pleased to inform you of the launch of a new blog titled _Alt-Ed_
[ http://alternative-educate.blogspot.com/ ]
_Alt-Ed_ is s devoted to documenting significant initiatives relating to Massive Open Online Courses, digital badges, and similar alternative educational projects.
I have seeded the blog with several core entries and will be adding others as time permits.
I am particularly interested in learning of any library initiatives that currently integrate with these services or that are being planned.
BTW-1: I do envision a significant opportunity for libraries / librarians to > Think Like A Startup: A White Paper to Inspire Library Entrepreneurialism >
[ http://ref-notes.blogspot.com/2012/04/think-like-startup-white-paper-to.html ]
Note: I do claim 50% if you do [:-)]
But: Who would be interested on approaching these MOOCs with regard to formal / freelance library services ?
BTW-2: I joined the faculty of the Iowa State University Library on this date, April 13, twenty-five years ago / Yikes !!! [:-)
Regards,
