cMOOCs = discursive communities creating knowledge together

Massive OPEN Online Course
• OPEN to whoever happens to come by and wants to have a try
• OPEN because problems are posed and solutions given freely among participants
• OPEN because it encourages peer-to-peer tuition
• OPEN because the use of open-access software is implemented (PiratePad, NoBlogs etc)

THE VILLAGE
The metaphor:
Not this…
“something we build together by discovering as we go what is the next useful thing to do, in everybody's interest - the single person's as well as the community's” A. Formiconi

…5 groups of people emerged, who decided to do something together in the future

A course about TEACHING
through explicit description of what he was going to do and why

The power of METAPHORS
Why do we need metaphors? Because education has lost its original nature, which is that of a mission, and its
purpose, which consists of producing a cultural vision.
“In Italy education at large is suffering from overuse of formality and bureaucracy; it's a frozen system tending to mechanically perpetuate itself, while what education needs is the ability to become a LEARNING ORGANIZATION, adapting to the ever faster changes in our world.Metaphors, tales, unexpected turns are used to hook students, hold them and possibly launch them into new worlds. If they don't turn back and flee, if they insist in spite of difficulties, then maybe they needed to be introduced into these worlds...” A. Formiconi
![Page 17: Internet technologies for_education_c_mooc_iul_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5538ceb8550346b04c8b4844/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
KEY CONCEPTS
• FLEXIBILITY … SERENDIPITY• FOLLOW your INTUITION: learning to let go of things
and follow one's intuition “Knowledge and competence don't stem from handbooks but from exploration and daily use” A. FORMICONI
• LEARNING is about GROWING, rather than TAKING SUCCESSIVE STEPS
• EVERYBODY at THEIR OWN PACE
![Page 18: Internet technologies for_education_c_mooc_iul_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5538ceb8550346b04c8b4844/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
KEY CONCEPTS
CO-TEACHING CO-LEARNING
TAKING CARE OF THE COMMUNITY
![Page 19: Internet technologies for_education_c_mooc_iul_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5538ceb8550346b04c8b4844/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
KEY CONCEPTS
• SHOWING ONE’S MISTAKES: mistakes teach!• LEAVING TECHNOLOGY ASIDE when it is
necessary to ponder and reflect• LISTENING: “listening is important, and when you
LISTEN, then you have to adapt to demands most students make, otherwise it isn't real listening. So maybe the route can change, but my target stays the same, my target is very clear to me” A. Formiconi
• REVISING and WAITING, so that nobody is left behind
![Page 20: Internet technologies for_education_c_mooc_iul_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5538ceb8550346b04c8b4844/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The cMOOC as an experiment about
LEARNING“The aim is bridging the gap between teachers and the new technological generations of students, not just by showing how tools (devices, software) work – the classical training -, but by immersing the teachers in the same environment the students experience, so that they can discover things by themselves.
It's about learning by experiencing. It's about moving to cyberspace and having a good look around, rather than being instructed.”
![Page 21: Internet technologies for_education_c_mooc_iul_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/5538ceb8550346b04c8b4844/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“Mass university... traditional mass lectures don't work very well. This is an experiment about building communities so that mass classes might be more efficient.” A. Formiconi
“How can a workshop with 400 students be managed? The central role can't be the teacher's, with the students patiently queuing to get their share of attention...” A. Formiconi

“A COURSE IS A STORY that the teacher tells. But in THIS kind of course, the teacher's story gradually fades in the
background as the students' stories slowly emerge...”
