  • One important aspect of such a context is that often non-Western, and thus non-English speaking cultures do not have as much or the same experience with Distance Learning and Autonomous Learning. A MOOC structure seems to assume a certain level of familiarity with both, so this is one reason why more activity and guidance are a must in an LMOOC.

      This is an important point that also should be emphasized more in the current Change11 MOOC, and also in the future with any other MOOCs if other kinds of students are going to participate.  In talking about education in other parts of the world, such as we have already hearing Zoraini Wati-Abas speak, we have to first understand the difference in structure or approach in that country.  OUM and the SMS strategy are more interesting when placed in the context of a country that has never seen such widespread distance learning before.  From my time spent in China, I think distance education would work well and be very appealing for many young people, but it may not be adopted for its inherent openness and difficulty to control.
