My understanding of the term ‘MOOC’ is a
bit different; it is derived from a theory of learning based on engagement and
interaction within a community of practitioners, without predetermined
outcomes, and without a body of knowledge that we can simply ‘transfer’ to the
learner.

“to teach is to model and to demonstrate; to learn is to practice and reflect.”

What we are attempting to repeat on a massive scale in a MOOC is not the delivery of instruction or the management of learning resources. We are trying to emulate, on a massive scale, these small-scale and personal one-to-one interactions. It is this interaction that is the most significant in learning, but also often the most important, and for a course to be truly massive, it must enable, and even encourage, hundreds or even thousands of these small interpersonal interactions.
