Is there an etiquette for skype chats around video and audio?
NOT just another Education and Digital Cultures 2017 site

@LinziMclagan Do we have a theme? Blog feedback perhaps for those who don't mind sharing? We could maybe learn from each other?#mscedc

Thanks to Linzi for organising a skype chat this week with myself, Chenee and Stuart. Apart from just how much fun it was, Chenee got to learn a new word, “sook”.
The oxford English Dictionary defines sook as:
Seriously, though, this week’s skype chat was really helpful, supportive and definitely went a long way to building community within our class. It got me thinking about how individual we all are and how we all have different needs. Some of us are thriving in a self-directed learning model others need a little bit of hand-holding to keep us on track and some of us just get a lot out of the student community and sharing experience and discussion with our classmates. Tying that in with the MOOCs we are all enjoying at the moment and how xMOOCs are essentially self-directed learning and therefore only students who have that ability can really make the most out of this educational tool.
I am now wondering about my classmates on my MOOC of choice, how many of them are getting the full potential educational experience from the MOOC and how many are just flitting around the edges?
