I chose this particular MOOC for my ethnography as it appealed to the situation I am currently living, I seem to not have time for anything! Better Leader, Richer Life seemed like a rock-star style program. Offered by the prestigious, Ivy League, Wharton business school it promised to help you re-address the work-life balance and take a whole new approach. After the first week’s lectures I really got into the course. I enjoyed the video lectures and the almost guru-like figure of Stewart D. Friedman, projected through the course. I introduced myself in the forums and made explicit what my plans were for the mini-ethnography. I felt a little bit guilty, as only people going through the introductory forum would know my intentions. If they hadn’t checked back they wouldn’t know that I was there observing. I was also an active participant, I didn’t lurk around the site, I engaged with the Spanish speaking groups and also posted in the introductory forum.
