#EDCMOOC Welcome!

Hello everyone! Emilia here, reporting from Buenos Aires, Argentina :)

Coursera's E-learning and digital cultures is my first MOOC and this is my first blog entry on this course. #EDCMOOC, however, is not the first online course I've ever done (I've taken several ones covering technology and education issues, all of them free and offered by the University of Buenos Aires and this is, by the way, the blog I created to complete the activities of those courses), but a MOOC is quite a different thing, I guess, mainly because it's massive (which makes it overwhelming and scary at times, but also thrilling and exciting, as there is just too much to see and read). So I am here not only to learng abuot e-learning and digital cultures, but also to find out what a MOOC is and to see if (and how) it works for me.

Actually I have enrolled on two courses starting on the very same date: this EDMOOC and Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application. During this week, I've been exploring both of them, trying to decide whether I'll really do both of them (the workload, especially for Fundamentals...seemed too much for me, far too many tasks and lectures to complete). But after some really serious technical glitches and many awfull planning issues, Fundamentals... has been suspended, so here I am, diving fully into EDMOOC!

This is just a welcome post, but I've already been over all the materials for week 1, so I'll just start a new blog entry to cover my ideas on the videos and texts.

See you around!
