<h2>It's Not a Course, but a Learning Community</h2>
<p><a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~mres/" target="_blank">Mitch Resnick</a> has been teaching the foundational ideas of Learning Creative Learning at the <a href="http://media.mit.edu" target="_blank">MIT Media Lab</a> for around fifteen years. In the spring of 2013, Mitch's research group, <a href="http://llk.media.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Lifelong Kindergarten</a>, teamed up with <a href="http://p2pu.org" target="_blank">Peer 2 Peer University</a> (P2PU) to offer LCL as an online course alongside the in-person course. In 2014, LCL was transformed into an entirely online <a href="http://discuss-learn.media.mit.edu/">community</a>, where <strong>like-minded educators and learners from around the world can share their ideas about creative learning.</strong> We have now redesigned the LCL experience so that anyone (like you!) can join the community at any time. LCL still has online seminars, suggested readings, and hands-on activities, but you can go through this material</a> at your own pace or <a href="http://eepurl.com/8Lcxf">join a cohort</a>. All of our materials are available to anyone with a computer and internet access! <strong>No sign-up required</strong>.</p>
<p>Read the <a href="http://reports.p2pu.org/learning-creative-learning/" target="_blank">Learning Creative Learning report</a> for more information about the history and design of LCL. </p>
<h2>The Web is the Platform</h2>
<p>Rather than hosting everything in one central platform, we utilize off-the-shelf, open-source software like <a href="https://unhangout.media.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Unhangout</a>, <a href="https://github.com/p2pu/mechanicalmooc" target="_blank">Mechanical MOOC</a>, and <a href="http://discourse.org" target="_blank">Discourse</a> to create the <strong>most open and collaborative community possible</strong>. We hope to model a learning environment that is easy for anybody to replicate.</p>
<h2>A Big Experiment</h2>
<p>LCL has always been a big experiment, and the same is true now. We plan to continue to tinker with the community format and explore new tools for sharing ideas and supporting discussions. <strong>We hope you will continue to tinker with us and jump in as collaborators.</strong> Things might break, but we are committed to fixing them, and we invite you to break and fix things with us!</p>
<h2>The LCL Team</h2>
<p>Learning Creative Learning is designed and led by <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~mres/" target="_blank">Mitch Resnick</a>, <a href="http://1l2p.net" target="_blank">Philipp Schmidt</a>, and <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~nrusk" target="_blank">Natalie Rusk</a>. Mitch is a Professor of Learning Research at the MIT Media Lab, whose Lifelong Kindergarten research group has developed ideas and technologies underlying the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits and the <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Scratch</a> programming language and online community. Natalie is a Research Scientist in the Lifelong Kindergarten group who founded the <a href="http://www.computerclubhouse.org/" target="_blank">Computer Clubhouse</a>, and Philipp is a Director's Fellow at the Media Lab and co-founder of <a href="http://p2pu.org" target="_blank">P2PU</a>.</p>
<p>Other LCL team members include <a href="https://twitter.com/kamcconachie" target="_blank">Katherine McConachie</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/AlishaPanjwani" target="_blank">Alisha Panjwani</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/grifpeterson" target="_blank">Grif Peterson</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ayajennifer" target="_blank">Aya Sakaguchi</a>, and <a href="http://www.srishtisethi.com/">Srishti Sethi</a>. </p>
