Connectivism“Knowledge is distributed across a network of connections and learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks. It shares with some other theories a core proposition: that knowledge is not acquired, as though it were a thing. Knowledge is, in this theory, literally the set of connections formed by actions and experience.”

DAVID WILEY

There are a number of reasons why the term MOOC is a misnomer.

• Many MOOCs are massive but not open http://www.udacity.com/legal/

• Many MOOCs are open but not massivehttp://learninganalytics.net/syllabus.html

• Many MOOCs try very hard not to be courses http://cck11.mooc.ca/how.htm

Well, at least all MOOCs offered to date have been online – so at least there’s one thing we can agree on.
