Hey Hypernauts,

We're busy on a few fronts and want to share what we've been up to, and ways you can get involved—

Join Us to Get Meta

One, our new Meta Course is starting later this month, and we're excited to jam with you, not only on courses but clubs and research projects and learning communities — any kind of experiment you might like to play with together.

We’ve been running the Meta Course for over a year, and until now we’ve focused primarily on helping people develop courses.

A few months in, we added clubs on Hyperlink, but creating them has been a more casual DIY process. We’ve also written about ideas for further shapes and forms of learning, and want to do more to help bring them to life.

There’s a tremendous possibility space for what internet learning can look like. We’ve seen all kinds of interesting formats — workshops, research collectives, communities, peer groups — and we know there’s so much yet to explore.

One of our favorite parts of building Hyperlink is working with so many creative people who are doing fascinating work and research, and excited to share that with others.

Here’s a roundup of fascinating things we’ve discovered related (more or less) to internet learning, just in the past month.

This is a new email format we’re trying…if you dig this, let us know and we’ll do it again periodically.

And please send us websites we should visit, people we should meet, things we should read, and so on!

Proposal: let's do a collaborative library-creation session together in Hyperspace.

We've started making a library of libraries — starting with our own Hyperlink Learning Library (favorite books on education, learning, pedagogy) and with your help, many more shelves and stacks to come.

Today, 5-7pm Eastern, we'll be hanging out and adding to the Metalibrary. While we're at it, we'd love to talk about some of our favorite books, and have you join to add yours as well!

We can talk about some of our meta-learning favorites, like Deschooling Society, Mindstorms, The Teenage Liberation Handbook and more.

Hello, hypernauts!

A couple things for you this week—

First, we've published a new post in the Hyperlink Library, on things to consider in designing for accessible and inclusive learning:

Hyperlink Library - Designing Accessible and Inclusive Learning

It’s time for Hyperlink’s monthly launch — some great learning experiences now open for enrollment!

This week from Hyperlink — a call to play with shapes and structures for collaborative online learning. You can also find the full post here in the Hyperlink Library.

Happy birthday to Hyperlink!

The three of us officially joined forces in June 2020, so we’re celebrating Hyperlink’s first year — what we intend to be the first of many.

Highlights:

Hey, reminder that we’ve got a week of Hyperlink events lined up, starting tonight!

creative websites ✨ at-home ecology ✨ restorative art ✨ digital alchemy ✨ conservation ✨ motion design ✨ art of memory ✨ comics making ✨ cryptoeconomics ✨ applied rationality

Let’s explore a thought experiment:

What does a space for lifelong learning look like to you?

This week, a book review — examining Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering, and considering how the lessons she shares about designing meaningful gatherings might be applied to the ways we shape learning experiences.

We’ve been thinking a lot about the social contexts of learning, and how people come together to explore something in a directed way.

This week, we’re writing about social environments for flexible learning — specifically, our vision for Hyperspace, a new thing we’re building!

Hyperlink Hypotenuse

We’re refreshing this newsletter!

Hi all!

Brendan here from Hyperlink. I'm working on refactoring our newsletter, and want to get your input on something new we'd like to try.

Some of our big goals for what we publish, in both the Hyperlink Library and this newsletter, are to share:

• Useful info on indie internet learning (great links, papers, book reviews, events & more)
• What we're up to, getting meta and "working with the garage door open"
• Community news & updates — what you're working on and thinking about

It’s time for Hyperlink’s monthly launch — AKA knowledge drop — an awesome learning lineup of new courses and clubs.

The following cohorts are now open for enrollment, starting in April and early May. Click each to learn more and enroll. (Ones labeled “NEW” = running their very first cohort!)

You can also view all here: + .

This week is Hyperlink's latest Demo Week — a chance for course creators to share what they're working on, give you a preview of forthcoming courses, and get community feedback.

We've got some great events on the calendar!
