Description
This is an ONLINE course. **This is a FALL 2010 course. Grades will NOT be issued until the Fall 2010 semester.** The purpose of this totally online course is to give you an opportunity to communicate and collaborate with your peers around the globe by creating a personal learning network. A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is the collection of people with whom you engage and exchange information. They are the group of people who contribute to your knowledge and understanding of topics in your field and beyond. As web applications have become more robust, your PLN can easily grow using tools like Twitter, Ning, blogs, Facebook and social bookmarks, expanding your network to include people from across the globe. The tools make it easy to find, connect with, and engage social contacts, peers, authors, experts and anyone with similar interests. Personal Learning Networks extend your learning through increased reflection, while enabling you to learn as part of a global economy.
