    The post really points to the possible pitfalls of online courses. It also suggests the importance of examining & evaluating the effectiveness of online courses - including the teacher's pedagogy and instructional methods - and student receptiveness, level of engagement, and success in courses. The comments after the post provide a lively discussion. Blended learning seems to get high marks.

  • they should be able to do them more successfully if they take the course again the next time it is offered – something else that is possible in the brave new world of MOOCs. (Many of the students in my second offering of the course had attempted the first one a few months earlier.)

      Imagine the culture shift that we might take a class and not expect to master the entire course during the first 9 weeks.
  • evaluation of student work and the awarding of grades can be devoted purely to providing students with a useful (formative) indication of their progress, not a (summative) measure of their performance or ability.

  • And thus – for MOOC lovers and MOOCs haters alike – an important rhetorical point we should all be emphasising, in every conversation: in the complex, changing world in which we live, advanced learning is necessary. Not a luxury. It deserves the public support of other necessities. Advanced education is far too important to price out of the market for all but the global 1%.
  • If the question is, "is higher education worth it?" we know from the massive enrolment in online courses that the answer is a resounding "yes". It is also significant that world history courses are enrolling as many students as Python's open source software. People want higher learning.

    The academic conversation on MOOCs is starting to polarise in exactly the talking-past-one-another way that so many complex conversations evolve: with very smart points on either side, but not a lot of recognition that the validity of certain key points on one side does not undermine the validity of certain key points on the other. I regret this flattening of online learning into a simple binary of 'politically and financially motivated greed' on the one hand and 'an opportunity to find out more about learning' on the other. Some of both in different situations can be true.

  • The right to own one’s personal data and intellectual property Students also have the right to create and own intellectual property and data associated with their participation in online courses.

      A lot of my data - chats and forum postings have passed beyond my reach after an online course closed. What are some things I can start doing while Institutions are still not willing to change access policies? How much of another's forum posting is legitimate for me to copy to my own space so I have the context?

      One school in Maryland has decided it owns ALL student work; faculty work, as well. In what ways can we make sure this concept does not spread? What is the difference of ownership when state or federal funds are involved? when private funding is primary? Does public funding create the potential for open resources and sharing of personal date in the eyes of the institution; in the yes of others? in the eyes of the creator of the materials? How can we take ownership of our data. In days gone by, another "hard copy" placed in a personal "folder" was the answer. Today, our computer "folders" are no longer personal and may be accessed by companies, government agencies and hackers. Do we really have the rights to our own digital identity and intellectual property in the digital age? If so, what are some of the ways we can protect these elements? Long post with no concrete answers ... thanks for jump starting the thought processes!

    This is a helpful look at the stages many go through as they begin the journey of building a PLN. I've read a couple of posts by those extending themselves into the realm of connected relationships online: Chez Vivian "Oh, what a tangled web we weave" - http://goo.gl/CFnKv & Fenella Olynick: "Staying the Course: Connections, Reciprocity, and the Web" http://goo.gl/H8UKp

    The honeymoon with MOOCs is over. The reality check has finally arrived which was inevitable. MOOCs will not solve all the woes of higher education. It is unfortunate it had to be a class on how to design an online course; it was the Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application [FOE] offered through Coursera that brought things to a screeching halt. But this experience can provide an opportunity for institutions to re-focus-identify the role and purpose of MOOCs and move forward with a thoughtful, purposeful strategy.

    Self-directed learning on open online networks is now a possibility as communication and resources can be combined to create learning environments. But is it really? There are some challenges that might prevent learners from having a quality learning experience. This paper raises questions on levels of learner autonomy, presence, and critical literacies required in active connectivist learning.
