1000+ people signed up for the Connectivism Course. How do you teach it? This is one of the reasons I signed up for the course. EdTechTalk hosted the second conversation on how the Massive Open Online Course, MOOC – CCK08 was developed. The session focused on practical elements – tools, approaches, assignments, and so on.
Mission to Learn posted about the value of a Massive Open Online Course, MOOC using web 2.0 tools:
I suspect I don’t really even need to spell out how the MOOC model could be of value in the association sector. Or for nonprofits hoping to engage a large group of stakeholders around a cause. Or for businesses seeking greater engagement with their customer base.
Just taking associations as the main example, imagine bringing together a significant slice of your audience online – member and non-member – over a period of days, weeks, or even months to engage on a topic that is central to their day-to-day work. Not just an online conference with a line up of presenters – plenty of that has already been done with widely mixed results. Rather, an event that is truly facilitated, in which key thought leaders help evoke shepherd audience input and participation, taking advantage of social media-driven Learning 2.0 approaches.
