19 MAR 2021 · Not content with simply coining the term MOOC back in the summer of '08, Dave decided to take inspiration from his garden to bring forth the concept of rhizomatic learning as well. Starting in 2014, he kicked off what we consider one of the most groundbreaking MOOCs of all time, #Rhizo14 (and subsequent Rhizos as well!). You know it's good when the mastermind behind the experience "ends" the course and it keeps going for 8 more weeks!

In this episode, Anne-Marie and Terry chat with Mia and Alan about all the surprise twists, turns and jumps they take to make it happen.
