Teaching with WordPress (#TWP15) is an open, collaborative online course on using WordPress for teaching and learning in higher education. Join us to talk about and experiment with, among other things:

• Open education and open pedagogy
• WordPress as a highly customizable framework for teaching and learning
• Examples of instructors and learners using WordPress sites in many different ways for multiple purposes
• Plug ins, applications and approaches for creating, discussing, sharing and interacting with each other
• Throughout the course, you’ll be creating your own WordPress course site, so that by the end you’ll have a beginning structure to build on with your learners.

Teaching with WordPress is designed to be a “connectivist” open online course, in which the contributions of the participants are crucial to what each of us learns; we will connect with each other through blog posts, Twitter and discussions on this site. Most importantly, we’ll learn from each other’s course design on our WordPress sites.
