I'm playing around with Topics touching on digital literacies, critical thinking, and learning in social networking and collaborative learning environments... started filing my EduMOOC findings here :-)
Lisa's definition of a MOOC sticks to the basics: M = Massive: needs tons of participants (this is why my own History MOOC failed)
Here she discusses the alternative configurations explored this week, including the Stanford courses 
Dave Cormier reflects here on how to curate and archive the upcoming "Change" MOOC. It seems there will be some reliance on volunteers. He notes "It’s going to be a big job… and a long one considering the length of the course. I’m hoping for help… particularly with the link curation." He is not sure about "a group edited response to the ideas. I have no faith that this is possible to facilitate…" Dave, you may have answered your own question, but good on yer if you give it a go :-) Might be I'm being too strict on the definition of "open" (which is a subject on its own). The more I read on openness the clearer it is that an open course has to respond to input from students by altering content or delivery. Lovely post with lots of lessons...Thanks for sharing =)... Still disagree that the Stanford course is a MOOC. Nor will it morph miraculously into a MOOC by backchannel discussion groups forming around it.

Aug 19, 2011 If we could hop in the DeLorean and get a glimpse of higher education in 2021, what would we see? This week's eduMOOC (Massive Open Online Course) panelists talked about what they envision as the future direction of online learning. By Polly Peterson 
Edgar Altamirano asks in the EduMOOC group on Facebook, is this a MOOC? My take: " it appears to be open (equivocal, but can be inferred). One variation on the current MOOC theme is the 58,000 participants will take exams and be graded (thru an Amazon system) and those successful will be awarded certificates of accomplishment. Also it's not clear from the article how students will interact with one another, another tenet of MOOCs as they have run since 2008." I think the main difference between open courseware and a MOOC are the M and the C. Open courseware is Open and Online. When you put the learning within a structure that has a time constraint and facilitator(s), it's a Course. Hi Lisa I have made today some more reflections on this discussion in my blog post: REPLACING THE FAUCET [link] Today we can only speculate about the AI Stanford course. I would like to see what their proposal is. HI friends, See my blog for the sixth week at EduMOOC; Personal Online Learning Networks at [link] Warm regards, Anil [link] [link]... I totally agree with Scott in all his comments. With respect to AI Stanford, MOOC or not MOOC, we need to understand how to handle open massive technical courses and (if allowed by organizers) how much learners interaction appears. Hi friends, I think, for a good start of our seventh weekly discussions, we have to discuss the query “How does a collaborative work differ from a collective work?
