  1. are the Pinterest images offering anchor points for discussion, giving a sense of direction to the topics covered?
  2. does the Pinterest board build a community where interaction is more conducive?
  3. does the Pinterest board operate independently from the Coursera discussion board?
  4. how does the re-pinning affect my perception of intellectual ownership (question thanks to Candace’s prompt)
  5. will the Pinterest board be maintained through the concept of re-pinning, ensuring digital remake.
  6. how do re-pins on other boards continue the narrative?
  7. Can the Pinterest board be seen as an incorporated element of the coursera course, and any of the other newly created platforms that have sprung up since the start of the course?

On the MOOC Dutch group, this tool was suggested and so I tried it out. It’s great fun, but time consuming….
