Her counter argument was that the pedagogical devices that I cited – readings, online discussion forums, social media groups and local meetups – are the same learning and teaching functionalities available in any LMS. All of the MOOCs I have experienced include readings, online discussion forums, social media groups and local meetups. This is a question that I tackle in my Udemy course The Wide World of MOOCs.

An announcement board kept us up to date, the discussion forums were easy to find, and the final assessment was explained clearly from Day 1. While I initially found this frustrating (having to bounce between them in case I missed out on anything), I now agree in hindsight that multiple platforms are a good idea – on the proviso that the Coursera-hosted forum remains the plenary. With 42,000 participants, it was inevitable that the discussion forum would be swamped.

Core component #2: Discussion forum. The secondary component of my ILE is an open discussion forum. I say “secondary&# because my rationale is that, if the learner can’t find the knowledge they need in the wiki, they can crowdsource it via the forum. A discussion forum enables the learner to post a question to their peers, thereby leveraging the collective intelligence of the organisation. In my articles Online courses must die!

Sure, the pedagogy may not be perfect, but the alternative is much worse. The pedagogy of MOOCs will be enriched. Over time, content providers will supplement their core offerings with live webinars, interactive exercises, discussion forums, wikis, social networks etc. MOOCs get a bad rap. Dismissed as prescriptive, or teacher-centric, or unsocial, or something else, it’s like a badge of honour to espouse why you dislike MOOCs.

Given the realities of the workplace for student doctors, shifting the pedagogy – if ever so slightly – from formal to informal sounds long overdue. In addition to profiles and blogs, I would also suggest facilitating an open discussion forum. Unlike a blog (which may or may not be read by others) a discussion forum enables the student to push a question to the crowd, thereby leveraging the collective intelligence of the hospital.

It is well documented that the vast majority of learning in the workplace is informal. According to extensive research undertaken by the Center for Creative Leadership: • 70% of learning occurs “on the job” • 20% of learning occurs by interacting with other people.

Quantity was more important than quality, because a rapid population of new digital spaces was deemed to be expedient - the pedagogy could wait. As online education evolved, it quickly became clear that new forms of content needed to be developed, and new forms of pedagogy needed to be devised to support the new ways of learning that were emerging. classroom Digital education learning online pedagogy schools students teachers Technology

Not to mention blogs, wikis, discussion forums and social bookmarks. In this sense, the pedagogy is constructivist. In this sense, the pedagogy is connectivist. But that’s not to say that the pedagogy of an ILE can’t be instructivist either. A touch dramatic, isn’t it? Now that I have your attention, please bear with me. There’s method in my madness… The myth of rapid authoring.

Some thoughts I lobbed in another forum (lightly edited): Mark Warschauer, in his great book Learning in the Cloud (which has nothing to do with ‘the cloud’), pointed out that there are only 3 things wrong with public education: the curricula, the pedagogy, and the way they use tech; other than that they’re fine. The following was prompted by a discussion on how education has the potential to be disrupted.

The popular sequence of events that I have recounted is often represented pictorially as a gradient, accompanied by that ubiquitous table comparing various aspects of the three pedagogies. Sure, the gradient reflects a wonderful growth of ideas, but I think it’s a trap to conclude that the latter pedagogies supersede the former. For example: Discussion forums (synchronous or asynchronous) allow the learner to ask questions, clarify concepts and share experiences.

I have put the word ecologies in inverted commas because I would have used the term “pedagogies” instead. I am sensitive to the “massive” in mooc, and appreciate the fact that the instructors can’t possibly respond to every contribution in the social forum. Well it’s taken me over 3 and a half years, but I’ve finally completed another mooc.

Anyone who has added a discussion space (forum or other) to a traditional e-learning course has learned the hard way that this doesn’t work. A ‘share-if-you-care’ forum added to an otherwise content-focused e-course won’t make a difference at all.

This is unsurprising for two reasons: MOOCs have changed considerably since they first came out, and they are continuing to evolve as both the pedagogies and the technologies. What this signifies is that the courses are generally constructed using a common set of building blocks, such as bite-sized learning modules, video content delivery, and online discussion forums. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are the education and training story of this decade (at least so far).
