By all means, jump in here but we also have a group participating synchronously. I'm not sure we are exactly capturing that.
There is another layer of synchronous interactions that doesn't show up in text on the shivtr site. We have a group of very active and chatty MOOCers who come to the synchronous events but don't necessarily post.
The tweetchat has a steady stream of interactions going each week and we have to cut it off rather than letting it run longer.
We have a very active group of synchronous online MOOCer who are not posting in forums or blogging. They attend sessions in Second Life, jump on Google Hangouts and then go over to ventrilio and play World of Warcraft.
This seems to be our carry over group from the
virtual worlds and games open courses we did a P2PU, the
Virtual Environments SIG (SIGVE) from ISTE and
Cognitive Dissonance Guild from World of Warcraft.
So there are a few affinity groups who have already established communication channels who are participating ...just not in text as much.
