So just what is this FOS thing all about then ?
Well FOS stands for flexible, open and social learning and I’m part of the co-facilitator team for a new 5-day open learning event developed by Chrissi Nerantzi and Sue Beckingham. We start tomorrow Monday 13th July to Friday 17th of July 2015. It is an an openly licensed learning event for educators working in higher education who are interested to learn more about flexible, open and social learning. The topics we will be exploring using a playful enquiry-based approach are: Digital literacy and identity Flexible pedagogies Supporting learning Communities and collaboration Open education The 5 C Framework The FOS event uses the 5C framework (connecting, communicating, curating, collaborating and creating) using freely available digital technologies. Oooh and I nearly forgot … it also has the opportunity to claim open digital badges … and of course I do love a badge #deblovesbadges 🙂 so I am really looking forward to that. From Participant to Co-Facilitator and back …
