Instead of imposing his own ideas onto the community, the architect had crowd sourced his design. The institutional learning platform - the VLE - is a classic case of decisions made about learning without consulting the learner. How often do we impose pathways upon students which do not meet their needs, or fit their expectations?

You could see where we might place formal learning using a VLE, or where students might meet to chat using Facebook, for example. In the loosest sense, the MOOC promoted the community more than the curriculum, and privileged context over content. But it's far from perfect. Learning is learning.

This kind of reciprocity occurs because people are willing to share, and in so doing, are free to then gain access to the sharing of the other members of their community. Social comparison, in Festinger's terms, is not considered to be a form of competition, but more likely will be to elicit a feeling of belonging within our chosen community.
