[Molly Ruggles]

Dear Colleagues, here's the schedule of early fall events. Hope to see you there.

Monday Oct 6, 3-4pm, rm 4-270: "MOOCs - Open Education with Old & New Learners" 
Please join us for a discussion with Professor, CIO, and Librarian Jeff Haywood of the University of Edinburgh and Dr Lori Breslow of TLL to explore new issues emerging in online education environments. Who are today’s MOOC learners? What are their backgrounds & intentions? Where and how might we broaden access to higher education? Where do we go beyond MOOCs? How can we deliver open education at scale?

Tuesday Oct 21, 2-3pm, rm 3-133: "A Panel Discussion on Scholarly Annotation"
David Karger, Kurt Fendt, Phil Desenne, and Jamie Folsom will contribute to a panel on scholarly annotation. There is increased focus on collaborative learning, in the context of online learning environments where multiple individuals create community forums which facilitate engagement and connection. This expert panel will discuss how people engage and collaborate online, what impacts annotations have for assessment and what features of annotation tools encourage collaboration and enhance learning.

Additional events of interest:
