WORDS, WORDS ...

How does our reality influence the language we use?  I didn't know about MOOC two years ago, but now it's everywhere - in the mass media, in social networks, in my own life. It has made it possible to observe the familiar word formation formulas in action.

As we're determined to learn more about digital cultures, it should be noted that different cultures could be characterized by various language peculiarities. Do we have to wait for somebody who is responsible for coining new terminology?

If one wants to mooc, one should be aware that a moocer leads a more moocful life than in a premooc period.

Can you give definitions for these words?
to mooc (verb, regular)
a moocer (noun, countable)
moocful (adjective)
premooc (adjective)

P.S.
All ideas and images are my own and shouldn't be taken seriously:))

Yours,

The Countdown Has Begun ...

The course starts in three weeks. So I thought it's  time to start creating some stuff. It took me five minutes to make this video that lasts 1:48. Of course, it's far from perfection, to say the least:) And it was my initial intention to post it as it was done - at first attempt. There are some reasons for this decision. Firstly, I really want to learn something new during the course and even while getting prepared  before it starts. Secondly, I didn't choose the program that I've been working with a lot, because I'd like to observe the learning process.    So I've taken this app that I haven't used yet (maybe it will be new for somebody else).
