The document discusses key themes that emerged from participants' experiences in the OLDSMOOC MOOC from February 2014. It summarizes that participants defined success differently based on their own goals and contexts. Connection and collaboration with other learners helped support learning, while self-direction and adapting the curriculum were necessary for success. Participants' self-efficacy improved with specific experiences in the MOOC. The document invites OLDSMOOC participants to further explore these themes through an online survey.

- 17. Defining Success “The authors variably define success as they intended to learn different things and differently adapted the experience to meet their context and their needs.”

- 23. The Role of Connection in Achieving Learning Helen: “Locating *a project partner] and realising that we had corresponding aims was as an important support for learning in the complex environment of OLDSMOOC.” http://bit.ly/1g6Cvgj

I need time to lower my affective filter to build confidence to find a springboard, which will take me to the centre” Yvette, October 2013.

- 32. Thoughts on: Success “Although the content of the MOOC was truly inspiring, success for me experiencing the participating in a cMOOC itself. I did and thus it was successful”
- 33. Thoughts on: Experience “This was the second MOOC I completed (out of about 4). I've taken more MOOCs since then as a result of my good experience here.” “I consider myself tech-savvy, so I don't know how others may have reacted who are not as tech savvy as I.” “It was on me to be more effective, I couldn't manage to organize myself and participate even at the lowest levels. Yet, this is another thing I learnt about participating at MOOCs (self regulation!)”

Editor's Notes
- Signals of success evident following a mooc run from January to March 2013
- Learning Design mooc, ran for 9 weeks beginning 10 January 2013
- Different leading educational designer every week
- It was intended that a group project be done, with self-forming groups. Most struggled to form in first week An intensive and lighter path were suggested each week.
- Google site - ‘homebase’ Google groups - facilitation, discussion Cloudworks - collaboration, journaling, socialBibsonomy - social bookmarking Google hangouts - weekly convergence, discussion, reflection Twitter hashtag - social, backchannel
- 6 months after completion, twitter call from Oldsmoooc team leader.
- Somewhat selective sampling as authors in top 15 active tweeters in #oldsmoocBUT call also went out to G+ groups, no response. So possibly tweeters persist with connection?
- Give rationale here – MOOCs allow exquisite measurement of activity, so old institutional approaches may here give distorted interpretation of patterns of activity?? MOOCs pose a new challenge for how to evaluate measurement.
- 7 mins to here.
- Yishay’s response – couple of weeks learning is success
- Briar is asked how she will assess success and she says application.
- Giving you an option. I have added individual slides for this.

- Adaptation ok button is hot action to clip I’m still struggling with but will finish in morning.
- Survey quote on success – ignore for now, too much!
- Survey quotes back experience in this kind of learning, not just IT savvy, as essential. IGNORE
