Doris Reeves-Lipscomb on 17 Jan 14article in eCampus news that Bronwyn Stuckey identified on Facebook for me on what MOOCs don't have but should. I had never thought about the physical lack of immersion in MOOCs. "There is a totality of experience in the classroom that sitting at home with a laptop cannot deliver. In other words, the 'event boundaries' that generate and support the appropriate cognitions, expectations and behaviors for learning are lacking. I suspect some of this problem could be overcome by using wholly-immersible virtual reality delivery methods, where there is a proper 3d perspective present, and even avatars of the other students too (groups contexts are important for learning - think transactive memories)."
