'''SIGN UP CLOSES FRIDAY 27 MARCH 2009!'''
'''SIGN UP IS CLOSED - PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE!!!'''


Please add your name, contact details (email, blog), a short description of your background and an outline of your project idea. Interest has been very high, and we are considering different ways to ensure the a great project ideas will be picked up. Even if the list already seems quite long, do add yourself!
Below is a list of the participants, with their original profile information.


We are also hoping that people will set up their own learning groups and would help facilitate that process. If you want to explore this option, please write to phi.schmidt(at)gmail.com!
If you are listed as a participant below, please go to the Participant page!


'''If you have signed up already, but forgot to add your email address, or project description, please add them!'''
== Participants ==


'''Please include a short description of a project that you'd like to work on during the six weeks of the course.'''
We decided to include everyone who submitted a project idea into the course. Following is the list of participants.  
 
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 (or desing of a 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.
 
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 [[Education/EduCourse/FAQ|here]]!

Example: Name, Email AT domain dot org, Blog URL, Project description and background.
 
'''Please make sure to include a project description''' as described above. People who submit project descriptions will take priority over those who do not.

I am one of the developers of OER authoring community [http://lemill.net LeMill]. Also I am active in Estonian [http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Esileht Wikiversity]. My initial project idea is to design (and possibly develop) a lightweight aggregator for following student blogs. I have been organizing several open online courses and found out that I need something more than plain RSS reader to follow the course. Maybe it can be developed with Yahoo Pipes.
