Exploring open education with Mozilla

This coming week I’ll be starting Mozilla’s open education course as a component of my ongoing professional learning and development with emergent digital pedagogies. From the course objectives:

“The course helps educators develop basic skills in three three broad areas — open licensing, open technology, and open pedagogy — to help them apply ‘open’ in their teaching. Some of the most konwledgeable people working in this field, will give online seminars introducing the key concepts and answering questions. To get a sense how these ideas play out in the real world, we will also be looking at a number of case-studies, and their use of open content, technology and pedagogy.”

My own project is to repurpose my existing assignments and activities for use by other educators under a creative commons license within the collaborative environment of the Social Media Classroom. I’m interested in providing a methodology for the process that other educators will build upon and remix. I would like to use the Mozilla platform as a means for creating digital assessment tools for participatory assignment types (blogs, bookmarks, etc).
