Dear Peter,
Good questions! I especially like your third one, having done this myself on a number of occasions.
I also agree with you about the need for more empirical research. Maybe an appropriate theoretical model to start with could be Phil Race’s theory of learning
(wanting, doing, digesting, feedback)?

Subject: Re: To infinity and beyond - what are we learning from MOOCs?
I was involved in designing and facilitating part of the OLDS MOOC on learning design that was co-ordinated by the OU and I have some interesting observations
about that experience, which I am happy to share…
In short form;
·
MOOCs rarely work when they are delivered in a 1.0 way
·
The attrition rate of MOOCs is the pachyderm in the room
·
How many people doing MOOCs are academics trying MOOCs out?
·
There was and is a need for a MOOC pedagogy that requires significant and substantive empirical research, most of which is too slow for the institution
juggernaut that has pretty much already rolled over us
Cheers
Peter

Subject: To infinity and beyond - what are we learning from MOOCs?
Dear All,
I'm currently enrolled on my second MOOC (massive open online course) for this year - and finding the experience invigorating in itself - but also learning much to bring back to all of our LTA contexts. I'm posting about this in my blog:
http://lastrefugelmu.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/artmooc-week-3-correspondence-with.html
... and I wondered if any of you have lessons learned from MOOCs that you would like to share - not least for our L&T Conference here at London Met in July (and perhaps for the ALDinHE conference next year)?
Best wishes,
Sandra
