Short Overview

Learning Culture & MOOCs

Behaviorism and xMOOCs

Drill & Practice, programmed instruction: quizzes and immediate feedback

Changing behavior through reinforcement

Connectivism and cMOOCs

To know where the information can be foundImpact of networks

Considering more tools for collaborating, communication and learning

Constructivism and Web 2.0

Inquiry and problem-based learning

Situated learning

Learning in groups

Trialogical Learning(Paavola, Lipponen and Hakkarainen (2004)

Based on Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) including the work

of Engestrm (expansive learning), Nonaka and Takeuchis's model of

knowledge creation and the theoretical considerations of Scardamelia

and Bereiter (knowledge building)

Three metaphors of learning:the acquisition metaphor: individual learning, learning facts

the participation metaphor: interaction with others

the knowledge-creation metaphor: interaction through shared objects

In the sense of cultural psychology and the approach of trialogical

learning, MOOCs can be enhanced through the deliberately use ofshared artifacts and knowledge creation.

Introduction of Enhanced MOOC

Enhanced means

considering knowledge creation through collaborative development of

shared artifacts

transforming social practices during learning by incorporating culture-sensitive material

diversified and customized learning material

culture-sensitive distribution of content

Cultural Difference (Hofstede et al., 1991, Hall, 1984)

Individualism vs. Collectivism

Individualism: everyone is expected to look after himself/herself

Collectivism: strong ties between individuals, strong in-groups

High Context vs. Low-Context

High Context: the information is coded in the message, need to readbetween the lines

Low-Context: the information is explicitly given, no reading between the

lines necessary

Considerations of Space

Personal space, proximity, intimacy

Reflection and Discussion

Further research is needed to test our assumptions

Role of shared artifacts and mediating tools in learning with MOOCs

Considering different cultures and their acceptance and usage of

MOOCs

What about offering different possibilities of learning in line with the

dimensions stated?
