More background to the (alternative) University Project and unconference 14-16 October. September 25, 2011
It's the latest on the (alternative) University Project that Dougald Hine is launching:
Learn about it through slides and notes - excellent - much faster than watching a TEDx presentation and more accessible to people with bandwidth issues. I wanted to respond to almost every slide - there's so much good stuff there - but for now I'm just passing on the details instead - http://dougald.posterous.com/the-university-pEroject-my-tedx-london-talk
Dougald's blog post September 25th The University Project: Five Reasons
I wanted to respond to all the five reasons Dougald gives - http://dougald.posterous.com/the-university-project-five-elements. There's so much overlap with other things that I have linked with. I think for instance of Minciu Sodas where Andrius Kulikauskas encouraged us all to pursue investigations into our personal questions - http://www.dadamac.net/network/minciu-sodas. As a non-formal learner I see Minciu Sodas as the intellectual home of my online non-accredited post-grad work (with field studies in rural Africa and at various locations in "the cloud").

For full details and how to register for the unconference weekend on 14-16 October see - http://univproject.pbworks.com/w/page/45692087/The%20University%20Project. That is something I have managed to respond to - I've cleared my diary and registered - so I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and experience without having put it all in writing.
Please alert anyone you think should come to the unconference weekend.
