Yes, all good questions, Emily.
Set 1: technical issues. I would leave this to Luisa and others to
agree upon. Broad access and ease of use should be the goals.
Set 2: Audience. I have no local master's program. This would be a
class in the Comm/Psych/Cog Sci department here at UCSD but I would
contribute to general effort with a lecture or two and as one of
discussants.
Set 3. (Depending on audience, i guess). Content.
Set 4. Temporal coordination.
Note:your message did not include the many ISCAR and Helsinki folks
that evoked this discussion. I will cc a few of them in hopes we can
hear from them about their interest, lack thereof, ideas, etc.
EITHER its of broad use or not worth it.

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.
