Besides defining connectivism as “learning that takes place when learners make connections between ideas located throughout their personal learning networks, which are composed of numerous information resources and technologies” (Dunaway, 2011, p. 676), "

"I recently did a mindmap on my personal and professional connections (See below). I have to say that my past achievements were not products of just my hard work, ambition, and drive. Although personal motivation has a lot to do with one’s success, I realized that my connections helped me get to where I am and they will also help me get to where I am going. "

The idea that massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide a less valid learning experience than face-to-face courses is a furphy. Here are some reasons why the critics are wrong.
Abi James's curator insight,
June 3, 9:33 AM
"Overall, the evidence is that there is no reason to believe that MOOCs provide any less a valid learning experience than face-to-face courses."
But are students prepared with the skills and tools needed to studt from online resources? The jump from classroom teaching to lectures is difficult enough but most students have no experience or strategies for learning from online courses without human interaction to guide them.

That's it!
There is no strong apparent reason for MOOCs to be less valid then face-to-face courses.
It is an e-learning model for great numbers that in most cases attracts lots of people which is great to researchers as it increase significance of quantitative research studies.
