As well as a pleasant discussion about an interesting theme, participants are invited to consider how we might group and sequence our favourite readings on the theme into a learning journey, and what questions and quests we might create to structure and even assess progress. Session facilitator, Dr Mike Cosgrave, who has 30 years experience torturing learners  with innovative pedagogies, will gently slip in some knowledge about current practices in online, open learning to show how fan knowledge can be converted into learning experiences or "design fiction". People should bring one thought: What work would you recommend to someone who asked for a  interesting read/watch/play on how scifi might help understand how the world is changing, and a willingness to argue about it!
This is a public, but moderated padlet to harvest your ideas about "texts" which fit this idea. It will, I hope, get cluttered, messy and interesting. Double-Click on the corkboard and type to add virtual notecards

"With cable dangling, the drone made three vertical loops around the tree’s lowest branch, wrapping it in a short helix. Then it circumnavigated the trunk twice, once close in and then a second time in a long ellipse that left cable hanging slackly from the branch. The drone circled back, dropped beneath the branch, and flew straight through the loop. It repeated the maneuver and then headed away, keeping the spool clamped until it had pulled the knot tight."
