I really like this idea of Helen’s, as a lot of you know I struggle with how to utilise 3rd party mooc’s as part of a corporate learning stratagey, however in concept of inhouse style mooc’s I think is a good one.

For a while now, I’ve been teasing out an idea in my mind about rolling out a mini-MOOC in our organisation. After reading Ignatia de Waard’s eBook MOOC Yourself , watching the Google Hangout with Jay Cross and Dave Cormier and completing various MOOCs,  I thought that it was high time to start applying this in the corporate context.
