I am often frustrated with the characterization <\/a>of all MOOCs as amazing, or more often, terrible<\/a>. In my opinion, that’s kind of like saying all books are amazing or terrible — there is too much variation to make that kind of blanket generalization.<\/p>\n

I’ve been fortunate to participate in several MOOCs that are both truly open and engagingly participative. One of those is CLMOOC<\/strong><\/a>, which is returning for its third year this summer starting on June 18.<\/p>\n

Whether you are intrigued by MOOCs or don’t really get what they’re about, whether you’re a Connected Learning<\/a> or maker ed<\/a> expert or these are new concepts to you, whether you have a lot of time and energy to devote to learning this summer or you don’t, CLMOOC is a valuable and fun collaboration to check out. You can sign up for more info here<\/a>, join our G+ community<\/a>, and\/or follow us on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this year, we are again expanding the CLMOOC Make Bank <\/a>so join us there too! Lots of great ideas you can borrow or steal and maybe even add some of your own!<\/p>\n
