Orientation Week for the #etmooc MOOC from January 13-19, 2013 introduces the course topics and environment. The 5 topic areas over 6 weeks are connected learning, digital storytelling, digital literacy, the open movement, and digital citizenship. The connectivist MOOC model emphasizes collaboration and allows participants to set their own learning goals using a variety of online tools including a learning management system, blog hub, Google+, email, hashtag, bookmarks, and RSS. Participants are challenged to make their learning visible and contribute to others' learning.
