eLearning Social Media Competence

Some weeks ago i learned about Howard Rheingold's project to develop an online environment and curriculum to have students learn and practice Being (social) online and developing a Voice in the global cyber-discourse. Howard has summoned a team consisting of Samuel Rose, Brian Christiansen and myself to develop the online classroom and the course design for the Collaboratory.
Brian has created a great little video introducing the project's aim and components:
