My name is Cristina Costa and I am a Lecturer in Lifelong Learning (Technology Enhanced Learning) at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.  This means I am interested in exploring the effects the web has on our daily and working lives, how it enhances one’s reputation and inspires new forms of participation and contribution. I am an active user of the web as a way of better understanding what it means to be digitally literate.

You can find me on several networks and websites. It suffices to search for my name online 🙂

I look forward to working with you all.

My name is Olja, I am a 3rd year undergraduate in ECS, studying IT in Organisations. I took part in UOSM2008 last year, as an extra curricular, not for credit activity, following my participation in several Digichamp events. I wanted to push myself, as an introvert, to open up more on social media, interact and learn from my peers. My online profile needed some help too. I didn’t expect it to be as much of a transforming experience as it was because I usually prefer to learn by myself. I couldn’t imagine my mind being changed from the initial go at each topic till the summary, but it happened. And it was great.

Then I found out about MOOCs and had an adventure of an internship with CITE last summer, researching motivation of MOOC learners with the team who were working on the Web Science and other University of Southampton FutureLearn MOOCs.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and helping with any technical glitches, in the real world or the virtual one.
