Hi all, with #evosessions for 2015 coming to a close, your EVO Minecraft moderators Jeff, Vance, Bobbi, Filip, Marijana, and David hope you enjoyed and benefited from #evomc15 . We would like to invite you now to complete the course as follows: 

(1) You are especially invited to join us at the #evo15 closing ceremony Sunday Feb 15, as listed as our final event for this session https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cr3i8u08omjagth45dss5jp7euk?authkey=CO_M5eq6oeWH8gE. All #EVOsessions will be represented, and each will have approximately 10 minutes to step forward and speak about how wonderful their experience was. It would be great if you can be present and lend your voice to the recording. The event starts at 1400 GMT and takes place in Bb Collaborate (Elluminate) http://learningtimesevents.org/webheads/.

We can have a #evomc15 Skype and/or http://chatwing.com/vancestev
back-channel to coordinator our effort on the day.

(2) Please respond to the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JBHVKT8
this is a survey which all participants in EVO are requested to complete. The results go into a report presented at the TESOL conference each year, this year in Toronto.

(3) You can claim your badge. Instructions are here http://tinyurl.com/evomc15-syllabus and here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bIrwrRqYdTjFTXbX7ZUrjQhwi6GZgJvYCMmzsbm7DJ8/edit?usp=sharing
The latter link serves as evidence of your accomplishment; that is, it is a publicly viewable record of LINKS to your missions. The requirements for a badge are to show evidence of 5 of ten possible missions accomplished. 

To get a badge you need to JOIN that space (see http://screencast.com/t/7LHU8UF7X5) and enter your accomplishments with verification links where possible (in other words, if you introduced yourself to our Google+ community, find a 
link to that post like this http://screencast.com/t/tMYgz0LYl and link the cell where you indicate YES to that URL). 

You will see when you receive your badge (from Credly) that your badge will link back to the public record of your missions accomplished. One more thing, if you want a badge, please enter your details in the spreadsheet before March 1 (we'll stop checking after that).

(4) Keep in touch via our Google+ community. I personally have learned a lot about Minecraft I didn't know before (like how to DO it for example) and I want to learn more. I have enjoyed this so much that I have decided to propose this session for EVO again next year. I will ask the existing slate of moderators to re-enlist (and if others would like to help out, let us know). So this community will hopefully remain active, and we'll reform next year in the same Google+ space.

So this is not goodbye, but a mOOC (a miniscule open online course) is a course with a beginning and end, and #EVOMC15 ends tomorrow Feb 15. But continue to use the tag and feel free to continue to post in this space. Looking forward to ongoing interaction with all of you - Vance
