Join the community that's changing how we learn on the Web. For the past ten years, I've worked with Institute for the Future to track the emergence of a new story about how humans get things done together. The old story of survival of the fittest, competition, rational self-interest is changing as new knowledge comes to light about cooperative arrangements and complex interdependencies in cells, ecosystems, economies, and humans. In 2005, I delivered a TED talk about this subject http://www.ted.com/talks/howard_rheingold_on_collaboration.html ; the video has been viewed more than 182,000 times. In the same year, I co-taught a seminar at Stanford with Andrea Saveri of Institute for the Future, "Toward a Literacy of Cooperation." This six week Rheingold U course builds on the texts, videos, and other materials developed over the past ten years. Under my direction, co-learners will inquire, collaborate, discuss, co-construct knowledge about the building blocks and conceptual frames of a new literacy of cooperation. The course will run July 13 - August 26
The syllabus: http://socialmediaclassroom.com/host/cooperation The schedule of live meetings: http://socialmediaclassroom.com/host/cooperation/lockedwiki/schedule Co-learners are strongly encouraged to read the texts and view the videos before the course begins, in order to make room for 3-4 hours each week reading and contributing in forums and blogs. Do not underestimate your time commitment! Tuition is $250 for individuals, $400 for employer-reimbursed co-learners.
