Create and share your personal learning plan with others who can help you.

So many great learning resources and communities out there, but how do I get started? How do I make plans, achieve goals, and hold myself accountable without traditional courses or grades? 

In this group, based on The Edupunks' Guide, we'll write personal learning plans and try building relationships with people who can help us.

    posted message: I just updated my learning path and re-designed the tasks. =) Still struggling with finding good open-source resources to replace scientific papers and textbooks.

    I noticed from OCW RSS feed that here is one new course which could maybe interest you:

    Hey Ana! Your learning path layout looks really good so far. I understand your frustrations with the lack of open resources available for students of biotechnologies. I wouldn't give up though. I'm happy to help you make a concerted effort to find open resources, perhaps gather draft versions of academic reports (authors have the rights to share/open these) and perhaps inspire someone to write an open textbook for organic electronics!

    Perhaps we can start a small blogging/twitter campaign to crowd source some of these resources?
