<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family:
Tahoma; font-size: 13px;" class="">My name is Nemo, and I am a
Graduate Community Fellow. I work on the DSLx Life Learning
initiative, and we are currently developing a "life learning
website" for MIT students. The idea behind the website is to
put student life online: to have a place where MIT students
can go to learn nonacademic skills such as leadership
development, conflict resolution, ethics, how to balance
school and life, etc. Moreover, the information on the website
will be presented through micro learning, which means it is
delivered in small chunks, so that students can absorb it
quickly and create their own learning pathway.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family:
Tahoma; font-size: 13px;" class="">We have planned a
microlearning contest that runs through February, as well as
workshop sessions in IAP. We hope that the contest and
sessions will help generate interest among students for the
Life Learning site, involve as many students as possible in
our process, and also teach students about micro learning.
That being said, if you could forward the email below to
students in your department that would be greatly appreciated.</div>
