Learning from Laura Gibbs - Anatomy of an Online Course

Today, thanks to ConnectedCourses, I came across Laura Gibbs' Anatomy of an Online Course. I feel as though I drank an enriching potion on Online learning.

The way, she has used a blog to create and share the entire course content of an online course. Wow! Brilliant. Her 'UnTextbooks' is novel to me. I think, for a long time now, I have been thinking, 'I am waiting for a generous developer who would develop a free user-friendly online tool that would be designed for curating online content for my 6-year old son or K12 in general.

It appears, blog can be a perfect tool for just that!!

Learning works best when,

Learning is most effective when, I have the ability to choose (freedom and the tools) my learning:

• Choose what I learn - when I need it to complete my work, or when I am interested in thinking deeply about the topic
• Choose when I learn - during my work-day or during travel to work, or at night.
• Choose where I learn  - In a classroom, Online, while travelling, at work desk, or at home
• Choose how I learn - by slowing down to take notes, by rapidly sifting through a book, or by discussing with someone
