region or that are already being used by the participants.

It can be organized as quickly as you can inform the
participants.
Contextualized content can be shared by all.
6. It feels chaotic as participants create their own
content
It demands digital literacy.
It demands time and effort from the participants.
It is organic, which means the course will take on its
own trajectory (you have got to let go).
As a participant you need to be able to self-regulate
your learning and possibly give yourself a learning
goal to achieve.
