I have just been asked, via email, for some more details about our upcoming event on Silverlight 4, featuring Mike Taulty and Mike Ormond from Microsoft, so I thought I would post some.

## Teaching 150K+ students at a time: The PowerSearchingWithGoogle.com story

Just wanted to let you know about an upcoming talk that is being hosted by BCS Aberdeen, which I thought might interest you. The talk is entitled ****, by Daniel Russell - Senior Research Scientist at Google:

{% blockquote %}
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have become incredibly popular in just the past 12 months. Many MOOCs have had more that 100K students register for their courses. Is this the future of online education? Or is it yet-another passing fancy in the educational technology parade? In the past 12 months we have run three MOOCs with more than 280K registrants. I'll talk about what MOOCs are, how they're actually run, the social community of learners that are essential for making MOOCs succeed, and what seems to work (and not work) in MOOCs. Along the way, I'll talk a bit about how people seem to actually learn how to search... and do sensemaking as a task. I'll also show evidence that behaviors learned in the MOOC persist after the end of class. %}
