I suggest doing so here: <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/edu_discuss" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/edu_discuss</a><br>
<br>All,<br>See Anthony's response below.<br>This email thread was started on the OSGeo Discuss list, but please continue on the edu-discuss list. In responding to this email, please drop the <a href="mailto:discuss@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">discuss@lists.osgeo.org</a> in response (and subscribe to the edu-discuss if you wish to follow along).<br>
<br>Anthony,<br>There have been quite a bit of discussion on our edu-discuss list about MOOCs, and so your course and what you have learned so far is very relevant to all of us.<br><br>The part of MOOC development which personally interests me (extending from my involvement in OSGeo-Live) is how to develop a process for maintaining and extending MOOC courses. In particular, from within the 30,000 students attending your course, there is likely to be many with excellent ideas for improvements. How do you capture such ideas, and at the same time retain the single focus and simplicity core to good educational material? How do you ensure that your material is updated whenever software is updated? How can your training material be retasked for a different audience (eg for primary school students)? Then once you have multiple courses all based upon the same core material, how do you ensure they all get updated together?<br>
<br>These are questions we have working on when generating documentation for OSGeo-Live, which I've described here:<br><a href="http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/memoirs-of-cat-herder-coordinating.html" target="_blank">http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/memoirs-of-cat-herder-coordinating.html</a><br>
<br>With regards to some of your other points, I'll be interested to hear responses from the Educators within the OSGeo community. (I'm better described as a Software Developer, Technical Writer and Coordinator).<br>

In addition, I lead Online Geospatial Education programs at Penn State, which to my knowledge represent the only Geography programs that provide Open Educational Resources for nearly all of its online courses (<a href="http://open.ems.psu.edu" target="_blank">open.ems.psu.edu</a>).

I would agree with many critics that MOOCs themselves are not necessarily as “open” as they perhaps should be.
