connectivist media course design MOOC reflection

shared by Ted O'Neill on 11 May 13 - No Cached

Somewhat later (like yesterday while sitting on a beach) it struck me that it’s another case of Korzybski’s line of the map not being the territory – the syllabus is not the class, the experience, but some representation of it.

  Very apt. I often find that syllabi I write are for external consumption. The students don't read them; they very much rely on the teacher for direction. The syllabus is a map for armchair travelers who will never visit the landscape and buildings in my courses.

I remain astounded that anyone with a fully functioning neocortex is talking seriously about MOOCs being some model of saving education when the word is each course rings up a tab of $250k (edx) or even more. What does an institution get for dropping a quarter of a million per course?

  There is no way that is sustainable. Edtech bubble.

Learning should never be an end game of an answer, but the quest, right?

  It's that word again: inquiry.

A cornerstone of the students work is a weekly summary of their work as a blog post on their blog. It was Martha’s idea that we require them to enter that as a URL in Canvas to document their assignment work for the week. I still am in favor of this approach- I get a snapshot of their blog at the time of submission, I can review and give some grade, and students get a better measure of where they stand. I can comment there on things might not do on their blog, and it makes the final grading really straight forward. The downside is I have a glut of work, since 90% of their blogging happens in the last 2 days of the week. I read easily over 1200 student blog posts this semester.

  People still forget that teaching online is often more work, not less. There is no magic efficiency or productivity gain that makes it easier.
