I really miss the heyday of #moocs. It seemed so proactive and exciting in the early era (I was on MIT first 1600x Aero mooc cohort). Everything seems paywalled these days and often lacks in quality... (glances at Udemy). I ponder, could #activitypub be a new option here. Kinda moocs on instances idea. #fediverse (also tell me if I am missing somewhere this exists!)

@concretedog don't see why not. All ActivityPub is is a way of distributing the state of content across multiple servers. At the moment, Manyfold doesn't actually federate much *content*, mostly just pointers to the content, but people get updates etc when things change. So, no reason that wouldn't work for a MOOC.
@Floppy I'm running around like a loon as I leave tomorrow for OSHCAMP, but, from a suggestion on here in response to that toot I've just added this issue to the fedi ideas repo... https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues/134
Do comment if you can... just early comments and talking could help this actually get some interest!
Would be very cool to have that. Perhaps you can shoot an idea to: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas
@smallcircles good shout, I'll get that done.
