["Duvall, Emily" <emily@uidaho.edu>]

Yes, I'm definitely interested. 

Right now I work in Blackboard, have worked in Angel, and use Elluminate for meetings. I'm interested in ning, which would be free for people. Listserves,blogs, etc not a problem, but I do feel I'm a bit limited vis-à-vis mediums but that's simply a matter of experience. I have resources, faculty and students, that are well versed in various distance bridging approaches to collaborative work so I feel confident re having support.

Course wise - it's going to depend on the audience. Are we are looking to build on what people already know, those who are already interested in CHAT, SCT, etc, or are we looking to introduce and gather more into the fold?  Certainly a combination is possible. In addition, if materials are in different languages, will there be translations available for all of them? Would postings (or however we communicate) be in English or multiple languages? Will we need translators? Quite a number of logistics issues, but I think they can be easily resolved. 

Tuition?

Hi Luisa-

The experience of a team of implementers would be necessary, I am pretty
sure. We would need to host archived lectures, discussions around them. We
have to pick the medium of discussion (list serve, blog, moodle that would
be most widely accessible). We would have to decide if this was just a total
free for all, or whether, for example, we would have a sequence that got
repeated yearly, which could of course grow to be a sequence of sequences.
We would have to select texts, ideally in more than just English, where
possible. And of course, the theme of the first course: Maybe something
inclusive like "One Open Source Introduction to Socio-cultural-historical
approaches to human nature: Basic texts and concepts" (But maybe others will
have better idea). And more.


So, lets figure you would be part of an organizing group because of your
background in DL and interest in the topic. Andy says he is willing to help,
I think i recall a note from Emily in the affirmative, Anna Stetsenko was
suggested but not sure about her interest, Simon Fraser is considering the
idea. And a few others. But many are simply silent, either because they
(mistakenly!) think they have nothing to offer, or because, perhaps, they
have other projects in mind to which they are devoting their attention.

We'll see emerges.
