This post has nothing to do with singing (you wouldn’t want to hear me singing anyway; Jeff, yes, but not me) and everything to do with the two types of massive open online courses, or MOOCs: cMOOCs and xMOOCs.

Dr. Susan Bainbridge's insight:
Intro by George: "I’ve said this many times over the past six months: If 2012 was the year of the MOOC, 2013 will be the year of the anti-MOOC. Things are unfolding nicely according to plan. Faculty don’t like MOOCs. Critiquing MOOCs is now more fashionable than advocating for them. Numerous quasi-connected fields that thrive on being against things have now coalesced to be against MOOCs. "

When people are comparing MOOCs to the college experience, it's often to articulate resistance to the MOOC hype by ticking off all the qualities of traditional colleges that are impossible to reproduce and that are precious.

One way to make the most of your MOOC experience is to use problem-based learning online to develop skills that have a real-world impact.

Ron Burt’s theory of structural holes has proven to be influential in explaining how innovation transpires. Burt proposes that gaps in a social network, structural holes, create brokerage opportunities.
Dr. Susan Bainbridge's insight:
Very interesting research on innovation with regard to connections on Social Media. Could be applied to Connectivism.

Fascinating insight into the original thinking behind MOOCs, connectivist learning and 'meeting the knowledge needs of a complex era' by one of the originators of MOOCs and author of the Connectivism learning theory. Open Badges are mentioned in relation to accreditation in this complex era and for amplifying the value of it through micro-credentialling - targeting specific tasks rather than a broad knowledge system.
