Happy New Year from Hyperlink!
We’ve got a few quick updates for you — let’s get right to it.
Cohorts Starting Soon
First, a reminder that we’ve got some great courses (and a club!) scheduled. Several already have full cohorts, and you can watch any course to get updates when new cohorts are scheduled.
Right now, these still have spots open:
- Comics Making for the Rest of Us (starts tomorrow!)
- Antifragile Writing with Roam Research
- Building a Rules Light Tabletop Game
- Design Neighborhood Scale Software
- Meta-Skills for Language Learning
- The Home Collection Game
- Whose Land Is This Anyway?
- Internet Homesteading
Enroll soon if any of those catch your eye. And we’ll have more — courses, clubs, events, adventures — in the coming months.
Library Roundup
We’ve added a couple new posts in the Hyperlink Library!
Learning from the Meta Course: Bigger and Better
We recently wrapped up our sixth and seventh (!) Meta Course cohorts, and overhauled the entire curriculum to be longer and more structured. Here’s what we learned.
100 Tweets on a Vision for Better Internet Learning
Hyperlink’s collaboratively-written thread on a vision for better internet learning. Around 3,500 words on topics from alternative course structures, to learning environments and facilitation, to pricing and credentials and a whole lot more.
More Meetups; More Events
We had our first community-wide “Hyperhour” meetup last month, meeting for fun conversation and brainstorming with a couple dozen members of the Hyperlink community.
What should we do in our next community meetup? Let us know if you have ideas!
We’ve also added one-off events as a feature on Hyperlink — a way to host single-session learning events, free or paid, organized on Hyperlink.
This is a new thing, and we’d like to test it with a range of events. This could be a prototype for a potential course idea; an intro workshop to a topic you’re starting to explore; a public talk / interview — any learning experience you’d like to host and invite others to.
Want to host a Hyperlink event? Hit reply and tell us what you have in mind!
These events can be free or paid. And soon, it’ll be possible to link events to specific courses as well.
Propose a Course / Club
As always, we’d love to hear from you if you’d like to propose a course or learning club, too.
On that note — we’ve got a new cohort of our Meta Course starting next Thursday, January 14th. Details here if you’re interested:
If you’d like to join, please submit a course proposal and let us know you’re interested in taking part in this cohort.
2021, here we come!
There’s so much changing in the internet learning landscape, and so much to explore and experiment with. We’ve been planning for the year, and lots on the roadmap we’re excited about, including events, departments, and solo learning adventures.
Can’t wait to get rolling on all this; we’ll share more soon!
