Hadn't thought of that. Still, there is that focus on content, and learning specific things that one can then be tested on, that makes them different from some cMOOCs. Agree that it's fun to be part of this emerging experiment!<br /><br />Too bad you don't know where the photo came fromAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720081694830782816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349173885651707639.post-3531989119648912022013-02-17T11:55:40.115-05:002013-02-17T11:55:40.115-05:00Thanks for reading, Christina.

I'm convinced they will if the right people hijack them—in other words, if enough cMOOC people sign-up and use them to make rhizomagic happen. MOOCs of all stripes are still figuring out what they are. It's a great open experiment and fun to be a part of.<br /><br />As keith.hamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404376705918243534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349173885651707639.post-17727440212321925872013-02-16T20:13:04.198-05:002013-02-16T20:13:04.198-05:00Hi Keith:

And the discussion continues!<br /><br />This is the first MOOC I've really done (etmooc), though I did a little dabbling in an "xMOOC" a month or so ago. The two are very different--in a connectivist MOOC like etmooc, we don't have to worry about things like assessment, and Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720081694830782816noreply@blogger.com
