| | We asked all participants to submit description of a project that they'd like to work on during the six weeks of the course. Have a look at what they came up with on the Participants page. |

|
| The idea is to come up with educational design ideas that apply the open content, open tech, and open pedagogy ideas discussed in the course. Possible project topics include:
| |
|
| |
| * A plan or mockup for improving education.mozilla.org, Mozilla's emerging platform for educators (it's just a wiki now :)).
| |
| * A spec for turning Firefox into the 'educational platform for the future' by pulling together addons for specific education use cases
| |
| * A blueprint of a light-weight tool to integrate Web 2.0 services into one edu-platform, using things like RSS and sticky-tape
| |
| * The concept for an e-portfolio that follows students around the web, and can be used for recognition and assessment of their work on blogs, wikis, in discussion threads, etc.
| |
| * A "universal", but customizable, tool for marking and tagging works that lives in the browser, autofills info from any page of interest, and gathers user-input structured data about OER, to be then deposited into a linked OER archive.
| |
| * A framework for rendering wiki-text into more compelling visual formats.
| |
| * A basic infrastructure design for "hierarchical" wikis, since most people tend to think in "nested" forms (think of folders within folders), but wikis don't inherently lend themselves to such logic. There are of course many benefits to not being constrained by such logic, but if we could get the best of both worlds...
| |
|
| |
| Of course, you can also do a project built around a course or initiative that you plan to implement personally. The only thing we ask is that the project focus on something practical and real. It shouldn't just be an exercise.
| |
|
| |
| There will be dedicated sessions during the course to discuss the projects, and mentors from Mozilla, ccLearn, and P2PU will provide feedback.

| Participation is open to anyone with an interest in the open education platform of the future. We are asking participants to tell us a little bit about their backgrounds, and sketch out an idea for the project they'd like to work on during the course. We only have space for about 20 people in the original course, but if interest is sufficient, we hope to run it again in the future.
