MOOC mécanique, MOOC connectiviste

... Il me semble qu’il y a dans cette opposition entre cMOOC et xMOOC quelque chose qui ne tient pas, du moins de mon point de vue d’apprenante. Oui, j’ai besoin d’un cadre quand il s’agit de m’approprier du contenu et des pratiques. Oui, j’ai aussi besoin d’un espace de créativité, de tâtonnement et d’expérimentation pour réfléchir à ma manière d’apprendre. Simultanément.
