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. For example, many universities have a minimum 80% attendance policy for face-to-face lectures. Unlike a PLE, an ILE is communal.

Sure, the pedagogy may not be perfect, but the alternative is much worse. Involving little more than knowledge transmission and perhaps a quiz at the end, the xMOOC is widely seen as replicating old-fashioned lectures and exams. The pedagogy of MOOCs will be enriched. Don’t all these people deserve a better education?

So let me document three important criteria that I think are critical to make this work (queue my claim “only two things wrong with education in this country, the curriculum and the pedagogy, other than that it’s fine”). Second, as suggested, it can’t be the existing pedagogy. Which leads to the third component.

Now, I talked some time ago about my ongoing search for wisdom , and the notion of a wise curriculum coupled with a wise pedagogy very much permeate my thinking. It would necessitate a change in pedagogy as well. Some thoughts recently coalesced that I thought I’d put out and see what reaction I get.

Overbearing pedagogy is a recurring problem for many adult learners. The instructor lays out the lesson, delivers a lecture, sets homework, and marks grades. Self-direction is one of the key attributes of an adult learner. How can you encourage it in your online course?

It seems strange that although research points to their ineffectiveness as a method of learning, lectures still figure predominantly in higher education. The third concerns the nature of the lecture itself. There are three issues to consider here.

If you subscribe to a kind of pedagogy where you believe that facilitating learning is more effective than direct instruction, you will probably recognise the potential. Pedagogy is (or really should be) about creating spaces and opportunities that are conducive to good learning. Yet it is not as clear cut as the binary might suggest.

They will have no memories of the 20th century, which just happens to be the same century their lecturers were born and educated within. It's safe to claim that much of higher education is firmly rooted in the past , reflecting colonial history, traditional values and 20th (or even 19th) Century pedagogies. It's a sobering thought.
