Please add your name, contact details (email, blog), a short description of your background and an outline of your project idea.

We only have space for the first 20 in this original course, but if interest is sufficient, we hope to run it again.

Update! I have copied these instructions about the projects from the course site. Please include a short description of a project that you'd like to work on during the six weeks of the course.

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 light-weight tool to integrate Web 2.0 services into one edu-platform, using things like RSS and sticky-tape
   * 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. 

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.

Have questions about the course or the sign-up process? Post them here!

More interest than space?

Even if you did not sign-up on time for the first 20 slots, please do submit your name and contact. Some people might drop-out, and we are also hoping that others will set up their own learning groups - and work through the materials together. We are happy to help facilitate that process, write to phi.schmidt(at)gmail.com if you are interested in running your own group.
