I feel a little like such a late starter! I wasn't in the initial 400 students but received the invitation this week (and very pleased too!) and it's taken nearly a week to put aside time to really have a look at how the site is structured, and the requirements. I can see that it's going to be a different experience from my previous two MOOC's in that it's much more social and (hopefully) interactive. Which will be a challenge for me as I am more of a lurker :)
So, a bit about me. I've only completed a few parts of my profile, but I'm going to add to it in time.
As my personal blog says:"South Aussie originally, came to WA via the Top End (loved my 4 years up there). Three kids (youngest born mid 2009). My library experience includes time working in a range of different fields including Higher Education, Public, Specials, Government (incl. a State library), and School/Community. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed working in all of these different libraries and have worked with wonderful people and learnt great things in each."
I'm currently working part time in an Academic Library and I (as part of a small team) provide subject support to Academics, Professional staff and students working and studying in the areas of Management and Governance, Politics and International Affairs. I find it an area of interest, but where I have a lot to learn, and as I love to learn, that works well.
I've recently completed two other MOOC's and found them both to be great at expanding my brain, but a bit difficult to keep up with time wise. I'm hoping that I'll do better with the timing on this one, and I'm really looking forward to what I'm going to learn and take on board.
