Inspired by Otto Scharmer's and Peter Senge's work with learning organizations at MIT, the U.Lab 2.0 is a free, massive open online course (MOOC) offered to global learners (more than 30,000 for the initial U.Lab) desiring "to create profound innovation . . . by leading from the emerging future" (see: Leading from the Emerging Future: From Ego-System to Eco-System Economies).
Beginning with an introductory orientation to U.Lab 2.0, course participants will meet Thursday, September 3rd (6 pm) at Roanoke's main library for a brief overview of Theory U and the eight-week journey upon which they're about to embark. Similarly too, they'll have an opportunity to meet the hub's "core group", better familiarize themselves with the projects and prototypes already initiated to this point, engage in an interactive discussion with other hub members, and express their preference of coaching circles.
The next two practical steps? Enroll in 1) U.Lab 2.0 at edX and, 2) let us know using the online form below you wish to become a hub member and plan to attend one of the weekly coaching circles (Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday) over the course's eight weeks. For a more detailed explanation of U.Lab theory and practice, please see the hub's resource page, "A Brief Pre-Course Overview".
