Well..... in a rather unconventional break for a participant of a MOOC on technology, I met up with a colleague Tony for a face to face reflection with yummy coffee in a lovely local Café.
- What can we tell about the range of experiences and preferences among ocTEL participants?
I was surprised that so many people elected to leave the mailing list so early in the course. The number of emails were considerable but to be expected? (surely)? Multiple opportunities to select how and what to study, when and where to study and where to post.
- What challenges does this present for the course?
So many readings and so little time,
- In what ways is a MOOC well or poorly suited to these challenges?
It gives the participant the choice in how to engage, post, discuss etc and in doing so it promotes the opportunity to engage with technologies, master their functionalities building skills and knowledge along the way.
Although I do admit to 'lurking' in the forums (I just couldn't help myself).
