What is this madness?

Hi, my name is Ben.

I have decided to start a little project. I am going to be engaging in a whole lot of Massively Open Online Learning courses over the next year, and this blog is a place for my efforts and thoughts on the process.

I am Initially using Future Learn, where my first course is START WRITING FICTION, which is run by THE OPEN UNIVERSITY. The OU are great distance learning providers. They have a history of understanding that that online learning provides a formate that allows access to a range of media for learning, from video, to blog posts, to podcasts, to traditional text books.

So lets get started.
