The topics of this site are indicated down the left margin. The full list is on the Contents
page.
INTRODUCTION
New apps [applications] have become a driving force in computer
use over the last few years, especially with the popularity of Apple's iPod and
IPad. They are very exciting for musicians too. But it seems they
are not so well known in learning and teaching circles yet.
So this MOOC (massive online open course) is for all musicians, music
teachers, music learners, music technologists, music researchers.... even music
producers, musical instrument creators, virtual or live, ..... who want to know
what's out there. I hope it will grow and grow, since there seems no end
to innovations.
The site is arranged by the kind of thing you might want to do with any of them, as shown in the left margin. The organisation is in terms of the "what" and the "how" of learning music. The KNOWING page is about what musicians can
get to know or know about. All the other pages from PERFORMING to OTHER STUFF are about what musicians can can do with music. Some of the main pages in the left side menu have sub-pages that continue the same topic. Teachers may like further comments on learning in the special section: TEACHERS' CORNER
.
The MOOC contents and activities are built up around you collaborating and sharing your knowledge, abilities in performance, and creativity. In each of the 6 weeks, you will each get a task, and are expected to share your answer to it with the others. You will do this in the forum.
For an overview of the main content, including all links to apps use the issuu link here

You will see the first page against a black background with arrows to scroll up/down or sideways. At the top, there is a small white image of two rectangles. Click on these to enlarge the page. Two new tiny white rectangles will appear for you to resize it
again. From here you can also download and/or print the contents of all the content pages of this website
I hope you enjoy this new MOOC!
