The point of any pedagogy is not the length of the course, size of the classroom, the headcount, or the completion or attrition rates. Pedagogy is unfazed by numbers; it is never outweighed by scale. Good pedagogy can be enacted in a room with one or two students, or in an online environment with thousands. This is because pedagogy is responsive, able to grow to the space it must inhabit, and its goal is a shift in thinking, which is spreadable by a single learner or by ten or by tens of hundreds. - See more at: http://www.hybridpedagogy.com/Journal/files/Pedagogies_of_Scale.html#sthash.Bk0cdnPQ.dpuf

 

 

"We will only profit from these new approaches if we see them (and their failures) as a direct charge to investigate pedagogies of scale, the responsibilities of those who participate in learning-at-scale (teachers, facilitators, course designers, students, technologists), and the shifting hierarchies of social learning. Ultimately, every course must outgrow its container."
