[Olpc-socal] [IAEP] Has Anyone Heard from the Stanford Venture Lab Course

[Caryl Bigenho]

Wow! Thank you John! I followed the link and successfully signed in and "Went to class" ( a bit of a delay on that). I have no idea why I haven't received the emails, but it recognized my login so something is working right.

Hello All,
This is the email I received on Friday Oct. 12th:


    Hello, and welcome to the Designing a New Learning Environment Course!
    


    
      The course TAs and I are very excited 
to learn, imagine, and create together over the next 10 weeks. Well,
 
it’s actually the next 10 and ½ weeks, because the class will officially
 start on Monday, Oct 15. The first lecture,
 Learning 
Technology Design and Sustainability, is an introduction that will take 
you to schools around the world and
 share some of my goals for this 
course.


The first assignment is simple but important:
 first, you should introduce yourself, your interests, and your 
experience 

on your personal Profile, your journal (located on your 
profile), and in the course Forums. This will help your classmates 

get 
to know you. Then, find friends who have similar interests as well as 
some different skills than yours. These could
 be useful for forming 
teams and completing the final project. To facilitate this, please login
 at


http://venture-lab.org/users/sign_in and visit the class page at


http://venture-lab.org/education/index


where you should fill out your personal profile by clicking on your name on the  menu and choosing profile or going to


http://venture-lab.org/education/users/edit


If you are taking other classes on Venture Lab at the same 
time, some of your personal information will be shared among 

all 
classes. However, different classes will be asking for extra 
information. So please fill out your profile in each class separately.
 
Feel free to browse the site, add a post in your personal journal or 
answer Pamela's question about the class on the forum at:

http://venture-lab.org/education/topics/2


 I am asking you questions about your education and 
professional experience, language, how much time you intend to spend on 
the 

course, and a short personal statement for any other key information
 about yourself. This will help you and your teammates find the 

right 
people for help and collaboration during class and for the team 
project—each of us has been involved in some way with education
 and 
learning environments, which means that each of us has something 
valuable to contribute to this course. Share it!


Feel free to invite others to join the class.
 You can join the course as an individual or with a team of people you 
already know. 

You will be able to set up teams during the second week of
 the course, and the recommended team size is 4-7 people.


You will get an email next week announcing the official launch of the course. Throughout the course, to get each other’s attention


 in a hurry, for pressing questions, or to give another student 
recognition, ‘vote up’ important questions and comments in the 
appropriate
discussion forum.


Welcome!

Paul Kim

Thanks Zachary,
I'll just send this on to the mailing lists and see if anyone has heard. I checked the class page and registration is closed. There is no way to contact them as far as I can see. Do you have the originating address for the one email you did receive?

Hey Foks! Has anyone who signed up for the Stanford Venture Lab Education MOOC heard from them? The class was supposed to start yesterday.
