The book’s website: www.studymentor.com The Theory of Cooperative Freedom is described in my book, which you can download from the Internet. Online Education and Learning Management Systems: Global E-learning in a Scandinavian Perspective .

Six Dimensions of Freedom It is difficult to combine individual flexibility and cooperation

Transparency improves quality

Transparency promotes cooperation Dalsgaard, C. and Paulsen, M.F. (2009) Transparency in Cooperative Online Education. IRRODL, Vol 10, No 3.

I demonstrated what I mean by cooperative freedom, and transparency through an online master course at Universidade Aberta in Portugal
Some of the MPEL-students at Futuralia Read about my experiences at: http://nettstudier.blogspot.com/2010/04/online-teaching-techniques.html

Summary of experiences from Universidade Aberta
The students publish their work in blogs (Blogspot, Wordpress etc.)
They share it in Moodle, Facebook and Diigo
They make learning objects in Toonlet, Glogster, Slideshare, Youtube, Issuu, Voicetread etc.
It’s much work to overview this distributed learning environment
The “entire world” can see our work and give us feedback
Many tutors and students may not be comfortable with this extreme openness.

The Guadalajara Groups
Form groups of 2-4 people
Each group needs access to at least one PC with Internet access
Max number of groups should be about 10

Examples of Transparent Learning Objects
A blog entry
A One-question-Interview
A www.slideshare.net presentation
A www.toonlet.com cartoon
A http://voicethread.com discussion
A www.issuu.com publication
A www.youtube.com video

Languages
Unfortunately I don’t understand Spanish (but I know how to use Google Translate)
Your Learning Object could be in Spanish, English or a combination of both languages.

The Outcome
Each group should publish a Learning Object on the internet and:
Post something about it at the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cooperative-Freedom/111226748907566
e-mail the web-address to me at mfp@nki.no
I will compile and try to embed the Learning Objects at http://nettstudier.blogspot.com/

I care, so I share: http://home.nki.no/morten https://twitter.com/MFPaulsen http://www.slideshare.net/MortenFP http://www.facebook.com/mfpaulsen http://www.eden-online.org/blog
