Good description of running a cMOOC.

Not a lot of specifics yet, but this cMOOC sounds like it could be great for a lot of us interested in MOOCs and LE.

It does sound good. I'm looking forward to how it develops.

Interesting....

"the task is to design a MOOC that leverages the best of both worlds - xMOOCs and cMOOCs."

MOOC resource run by the cMOOC founders.

Watters has a compelling argument for the rewriting of MOOC history. Fascinating read.

This is indeed fascinating! I find myself feeling a little silly that I didn't already know more about the work of people like Siemens and Downes, though I've started learning bits here and there as a product of my participation in our discussion group :) And it bothers me that publications like Wired, The NYT, and the Chronicle are complicit in handing us a warped sense of the history of online learning. But I do feel like "MOOC" as a term (like all terms) has meaning through its circulation and use, and as such may have been hijacked in some senses but may be "naturally evolving" in others. What I'm certain we do need is more contextualizing pieces from the folks who know - folks like Siemens, Downes, and Watters - so I'm glad she wrote it.

A fine talk (and must have been delightfully rude in that setting). Aren't you guys glad we began this program with the xMOOC/cMOOC distinction?
