Mooc research, antrhopology study on a mooc as a tribe: new roles in the tribe; communication patterns; language used, neologisms; subgroups in the tribe; central and peripheral places; roles, rules and what ever. Might be the first anthro research on moocs and online communities ever. Participatory research, living among the natives is a accepted qualitative research method.
"Anyone interested in doing research about the different forms of community interaction and its effects on learning in #rhizo14? How would we go about that? (I assume it has been done for other cMOOCs but this could take a rhizomatic angle)."
