What is MyLearningPlace?
MyLearningPlace is your home on the web -
a safe, sharable place which you can access at any time, from anywhere,
with a web browser. Here you can work alone or with others, keeping
track of conversations, documents, and web pages.
What do you get with MyLearningPlace?
You get a place on the web that you can control,
personalize, and share. Your place is like a house with many stories -
each story is about a topic, and each topic has a workspace
that you can customize.
What can you do with MyLearningPlace?
You can join topics, create topics yourself, and
then invite other people into your topics. A topic
can be anything you want - a work project, study group,
hobby, health issue, mentoring relationship, client/consultant space, on-line coffee house
- whatever!
For each topic you create, MyLearningPlace
creates a separate workspace with its own virtual
library, discussion forum, and list of
participants. Here you can store and share documents and
information, take courses and invite others to collaborate
around those things that interest you.
There are currently over 700 topic
based communities in MyLearningPlace, with users as far
afield as France, Australia, Brunei, Japan, Israel and Argentina.
Topics cover everything from Bread Making to Violence Prevention.
Most of these topics are private
communities, and are only visible to the topic owner and
the people they have invited. Some people have created public
communities by publishing their topic in the catalog.
