http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm
“One of the most persuasive factors is
the shrinking half-life of knowledge. The
“half-life of knowledge” is the time span
from when knowledge is gained to when
it becomes obsolete. Half of what is
known today was not known 10 years
ago.”

6. WHAT IS A
MOOC ?
 A massive open online course (MOOC) is a free
Web-based distance learning program that is
designed for the participation of large numbers of
geographically dispersed students
 A MOOC may be patterned on a college or
university course or may be less structured.
Although MOOCs don't always offer academic
credits, they provide education that may enable
certification, employment or further studies
 MOOCs generate massive quantities of data about
learner behaviour, which can be used to
understand cognitive growth and how to improve
instruction

11. Field Of Interest
Emergency Management

12. ...Field Of Interest
Continues
 The reason for me doing a MOOC in emergency
management is that I would like to be ready for any
emergency situation such as an epilepsy taking
place in the classroom which is usually something
common.
 My dad is also epileptic which makes this course a
benefit inside and outside of the classroom.
 It will also teach me what to do in emergency
situations instead of making me panic.
 It is also a complex topic as you have to be strong
and calm in situations of emergency in order to deal
correctly with the situation.
