test of Google plus

will this work now? +John Burgoyne   seems ok

I had to update my profile in Blogger. Anyway Google knows all about me and I am ready for the conversations around the MOOC.

Cloudworks and the MOOC, Google+

I have joined Cloudworks to get a better idea of what is going on. I noticed a lot about Futurelearn just before the holidays. There is a course about how to design a MOOC which my colleague Will Pollard has signed up for. A massively open online course. In Twinity we have chat facilities and also ways to show off video. Not sure how this fits with design but I hope to find out more.

There are several clouds on virtual worlds. Some are quite dated I think but this reflects how interest stops and starts.

The course on Moocs is making use of some Google resources so I am trying out the Google + links on this blog. Not working so far so I will have to set this up better. Please let me know if you already understand this sort of thing.

New 2D attempt to move Work Foundation sculpture closer to CQI

I notice Will Pollard has posted a couple of times about 2D collage as a way to representr the potential of virtual worlds.

This is quite interesting and of course I hope that people from the CQI will contribute to and benefit from #mtw3 .

But living in a virtual world is quite normal and I am surprised there is not more of it. Moving objects to a new place is not that difficult and the facilities for social media are often fairly easy to use.
