"Anyone new to connectivist MOOCs had, by the end of the session, not only been engaged in helping create the learning experience through contributing to content within online whiteboards, but had also heard Cormier recap five learning tips he includes in his online video: take time to become effectively oriented to the learning landscape rather than letting it overwhelm you; "declare" yourself within your learning community by sharing information about yourself with your learning colleagues; network by posting content and responding to content posted by others; "cluster" by working within subgroups of the learning community rather than unrealistically expecting to read and respond to every online contribution; and "focus" in a way that keeps you from burning out and succumbing to the idea that you have better things to do than to stay with the learning community as long as it is continuing to support the learning needs that initially attracted you to the MOOC."
