Connectivism and connected knowledge2008
Provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and, finally furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known.

Very time consuming
Huge amounts of information
Need to be an advanced independent learner to get the most form the course

The facilitators said we couldn’t possibly read everything, but I feel like I’ve not read anything from Weeks 4 and 5. As you can see there’s a huge amount of discussion going on in the Week 4 forum and it’s already building up in Week 5 which has just started. And that’s not even counting the twitter feed and The Daily. I feel like a marathon runner who went too fast for the first 3rd and is not going to make the 13 mile marker.
Part of the problem is the encroachment of my real job …

xMOOCS
62 Universities
2.7 million learners5 languages
4 continentsCoursera, 2013
Impressive numbers at MIT
155,000 registrations on one course
23,000 tried first problem set
9,000 passed the mid-term
7,157, passed the course
40 years worth of MIT students
CriticismsIt seems pretty obvious that no one who had any working knowledge of research in pedagogy was deeply involved in the creation of the course.
Armstrong, 2012
[T]he xMOOCs begin developed by US institutions…. follow a more behaviourist approach.
Daniel, 2012
Too soon for any real research into the learner experience
Online learning. Really?
Something a little smaller perhaps?
