Hi!
We are launching a MOOC - a "massive, open, online course" - on the topic of "Online Learning Today... and Tomorrow."  It is free.  It is non-commercial.  It is an open opportunity to collaborate.  It is put together by many of your good friends and colleagues in online learning who have joined  in collecting resources and in agreeing to serve on live Webinar panel discussions.  You know many of them (see the table below).   It is a great way to "gear-up" for the ET4Online Conference<http://sloanconsortium.org/et4online> in July and the Annual International Conference on Online Learning<http://sloanconsortium.org/aln> in November.
When: Registration is Free and Open now!  The course runs 6/27 - 8/20, 2011
Resource site is open today: you can see where we are going, the course will evolve
Live Webinar panel discussions every Thursday 2p EDT, 1p CDT, Noon MDT, 11a PDT
beginning with the first session on June 30
Where:            http://sites.google.com/site/edumooc/ is the home/resource site
Discussions for those who register will be hosted by Google Group eduMOOC
Twitter hashtag is #edumooc
Diigo tag is edumooc to share additional resources
Why:    To learn, collaborate and network with interesting and knowledgeable colleagues
Just a few of the panelists are Cable Green (Creative Commons and keynote speaker for the annual November conference in Orlando),Bruce Chaloux (SREB / immediate past president of Sloan-C), Bob Hansen (UPCEA CEO), Karen Swan (UIS / Sloan-C  Fellow and board member), George Siemens (Father of Connectivism and co-originator of MOOC), Curt Bonk (IU, author of "The World is Open" and recent keynote speaker at the ALN conference), Larry Ragan (co-founder of the PSU/Sloan-C Institute for Emerging Leaders in Online Learning), Karen Vignare (co-director of the ETO4 conference), Alexandra Pickett (the heart of the SUNY Learning Network),Tektrekker Bethany Bovard, and so many more... the current list is below, but we will be adding to the panels as we go along !
