Three members of the Metaliteracy Learning Collaborative presented at the 7th SUNY COIL Conference in New York City in March 2015. Tom Mackey, Michele Forte, and Kathleen Stone presented: Empowering Yourself in a Connected World: Designing an Open SUNY Coursera Course for a Global Audience.  This presentation examined our initial observations of the collaboratively developed and facilitated Coursera MOOC Empowering Yourself in a Connected World with a particular emphasis on the global reach of this learning environment. If you attended the conference or just discovered the presentation now, let us know what you think with a reply to this posting!
