I will try to bundle two weeks of questions, readings and reflections on what I have observed until now. What is an online community? This is the first question in the FOC08 course and Leigh introduces the topic with a warning and some advice. Most people use the phrase “online community” very loosely …and it is important that … Read more
The Power of Organizing without Organizations I have just posted my introduction to the Moodle Connectivism and Connective Knowledge Course which is about to start. The course, which has already been nicknamed MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) because of the number of participants – about 1600), will be co-facilitated by Georges Siemens and Stephen Downes … Read more

The opportunity for conversation that drew me in – educators I know f2f , others with whom I have collaborated online, names I have seen in other spaces and places and finally the possibility of meeting … Read more
Vile gueuse! Des biens étranges affaires… From Loic Le Meur’s blog, a hilarious parody (in French) on navel gazing blogging. Delicious. À croquer. Just one of the many different communities and ways of seeing the world on the web. Food for thought coming from the many conversations overheard on the “miss-influences” and behaviour of the local … Read more
Off to the second day of Blogcamp SP, an informal gathering of bloggers, journalists, midia crowd and social activists which is happening again at Espaço Gafanhoto. This year, besides the usual list of suggestions posted at the entrance, networking and conversations, a number of workshops will be offered for those willing to learn more about … Read more
The immersion process started this week at Fapcom with the 3rd Communication Symposium. I had never heard of the place before this – a recently built Catholic college offering new media studies. They have recently partnered with PUC Collective Intelligence Lab, led by Professor Rogério da Costa. I was pleasantly surprised by the modern, very … Read more
