Happy to report on several milestones concerning my research on open education.

Our research group has a web presence! Check us out at the CASCI page, we’re the OCEL Group (Open Communities for Education and Learning)

Had a paper on the Peer 2 Peer University appear in the Journal of Online Learning and Teaching, special issue on MOOCs: http://jolt.merlot.org/vol9no2/ahn_0613.htm

Was invited to give a talk at the Canadian Institute of Distance Education Research (CIDER) at Athabasca University. I talked about new opportunities for research and design of open education. The recorded talk and slides are available here: http://cider.athabascau.ca/CIDERSessions/ahn2013/sessiondetails

Presentations at HCIL and MIMAUE

Posted on by

Had the opportunity to give two talks this spring about my research on youth and social network sites. The first was at the Maryland Institute for Minority Achievement and Urban Education (check them out here). The second was at the Annual Symposium for the Human Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL), one of the oldest HCI labs in the world (check them out here). The Symposium was an amazing experience and I’m happy to be a part of the great research community there.
