Wished I had got on to this sooner

very useful, thorough, experiential.

Sooo wish I had time to participate in this mooc! But I will check in regularly to harvest some nice ideas... So have fun! 

Come and bring your colleagues, friends and family to the opening ceremony of the Moodle MOOC. Martin Dougiamas, the founder of Moodle, is going to be an invited speaker. It's going to be lots of fun and edutaining. http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/1255692-moodle-mooc-pre-course-introductions

I get excited about learning because I teach online. Teaching a Live Online Class http://blog.wiziq.com/teaching-a-live-online-class

"I’ve been teaching online using both synchronous and asynchronous modes since 2004. The live online class connects my students and me for learning on a personal level and not just for information sharing. Enthusiasm is a key attitude in getting students to believe and trust the teacher online and face-to-face, but specifically online. There may be technical issues during the class. The only way to keep the students focused regardless of the technical issues is to encourage and create an atmosphere of trust. The teacher’s enthusiasm will facilitate and help the participants engage in what’s important; learning."

I'm pretty sure we were looking at doing an open online course on using moodle to teach...

Great!

I'd like you to think of the Moodle MOOC on WizIQ: http://www.wiziq.com/course/20705-teaching-with-moodle as an event that is taking place in a city or town, at a hotel, campus, in a building, in a neighborhood, or at a park/camping area. You may share images of how you visualize the Moodle MOOC.

You don't have to drive or walk from room to room, building to building or house to house. All you need to do is click, touch, push a button, use the keyboard, or give your computer or mobile device a voice or gesture command (if you have these). However, you will need to have access to the Internet and to a device to get you to the learning environments.

In week 1, you will be getting acquainted with each other, the layout of the course, and learning about your personal and professional needs as a learner and teacher. 

There are 3 main learning environments on the MOOC:

WizIQ with the courseware for the live online sessions and recordings, for the content (tutorials) and coursefeed for ongoing discussions during and after the MOOC). Google Drive (interactive syllabus is also available on WizIQ)
Moodle experience is available on http://moodle4teachers.org/ with 3 separate Moodle experience courses and conversations (see below) organized for each of the weeks (topics of Moodle MOOC)
Moodle practice for teacher role, manager role, and administrator role is available on http://www.integrating-technology.com/moodle 
You are invited to join the conversations on the frontpage of moodle4teachers.org:

Conversation on Moodle Layout (Activities, Resources, Blocks):http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=17
Conversation on Creating Engaging Activities: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=18
Conversation on Learning & Teaching Online: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=19
Conversation on WizIQ on Moodle: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=20
Conversation on Going Beyond the Moodle MOOC for Active Lifelong Learning:http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=21
Finally, an upgraded version of the recording of the opening ceremony is now available for downloading and viewing.

OK, one last scoop. Gonna share this with my fellow Charting a Course for Online Learning students. 

WizIQ live virtual class is free for educators. It is great for e-learning, conducting meetings and webinars, streaming face-to-face conferences and campus-based classes, preparing videos for the flipped classroom and for blended learning, and as a course management system. The interface comes in 14 languages and it can be customized to suit your needs. I have been using it since 2007 and have never looked back.
