What? A cMOOC to explore cities. (A radically different way to understand #cities. Doing it together.
Dr. Susan Bainbridge's insight:
The only downside of this 'cMOOC' is that it's missed the point of truly 'open'. I need to join them on Google+ if I'm interested. That means individuals have to join a site to participate. Mmmmm.....they should have an open site on the Internet.

There are a few open sites on what could emerge as #citymooc distributed networks - plus a #citymooc twitter stream. However, these are not being aggregated. There is no real discussion (connections creating knowledge), organization (not even minimal of feeds or a Daily) or aggregation to speak of. I've had connectivity issues that make G+ highly problematic to use and time consuming but, twitter excepted, there are no other networks. On the other hand, I am adding to my collection of city links, which makes it more part of of at least one PLN than an actual MOOC. That and watching to see what happens, if anything emerges, is enough for now.

Question: How do teachers overcome student feeling of isolation? According to Christina Blanch and others, forums are not designed for 2500 students. Blanch, a doctoral student at Bal State University (IN) says she created a Facebook page for her course. Small groups set up Goodreads and Reddit. Other ideas were to create Twitter hashtags to send in questions or comments for an invited experts. Sychronous meetings were tried. "An undergraduate tutor from the Duke writing center worked with a MOOC student while thousands of students around the world watched live. The intent was to model how to give feedback so students would be more likely to engage deeply with one another's work."
