• Aggregate– Filter, select and gather information
meaningful to the individual,
• Remix– Interpret this information bringing
one’s own perspective and insights,
• Repurpose– Refashion it to suit individual
purposes, and then
• Feed forward– Share it with others, to learn from
each otherThe other kind of MOOC embraces a simple business ideology, and as such is almost the antithesis to [this] kind.Peter Sloep http://bit.ly/LBwImp
• Explicit pedagogical perspective– Social constructivist, dialogic,
actor networks
• Distributed, OS platform– WordPress, Moodle, Wikis
• Intentional social media conversations

Eval

This MOOC surpassed my expectations in terms of
content and engagement. The "live virtual classrooms" really made the difference.
It was a challenging as much as enriching experience. Challenging because it was the first time for me to engage with a MOOC…; enriching because I learnt a lot
from the experience on a number of different levels
It was illuminating and empowering at the
same time to learn in such a clear way the
value of CPD, reflection and what
professionalism means.
As I am new to the MOOC learning, I was at first a bit lost as
it was such a multi-channel learning, incorporating listening, reading, discussion, thinking all
most at the same time
Having taken a number of MOOCs
this one encouraged my participation at a
more thoughtful level than previous
sessions.
assessed students
were the real students and we other on the border
In retrospect it all worked well but I
remember feeling at the time a bit lost.
I don't like the use of different sites - it is very
confusing.
The micro teach was not clear and the
organisation was a little
late
