From open online courses to open blended experiences: lessons from Latin America

ADVERTENCIA: Si es su primera vez por aquí, no olvide que al igual que cualquier persona, puedo estar equivocado. Consuma con precaución. :)

Last year, I ran into a Call for chapters for a book on Open Online Courses edited by Rita Kop, Stephen Downes and George Siemens, so I decided it would be worth to try and organize a (somewhat general) account of the work I’ve been doing in this area since 2009, to communicate some of its outcomes to a non-Spanish audience.

Here’s a first (somewhat rough) draft of that chapter.  Even though it contains a lot of information, there’s a lot that could not be said in the available space. Obviously, there’s plenty of room for improvement, so comments and suggestions will be very well received.

Special thanks to Gladys Ledwith, Fernando Díaz del Castillo and Juan José Aldaz for reviewing and commenting the first document. They really helped me to improve it a lot! :)
