This is an exciting week as COOCS are represented at the Learning Technologist of the Year awarded by ALT (the Association of Learning Technologists). We are alongside some brilliant projects, individuals and teams from the world of education, so it is amazing to think our project has been included. For those of you already involved in COOCs, it is a fantastic reflection of your efforts in creating learning for free, in multiple spaces and places and often with people accessing learning they could otherwise not find.
Thanks to Norman Jackson and the people at the Creative Academic for sharing an article on COOCs.
