Before and After MOOCs
The presentation argues against MOOCs and in favor of community e-learning, emphasizing the need for interest-driven and emergent learning models. It critiques xMOOCs for being outdated and not addressing the realities of modern, digital, learner-centered education. The discussion focuses on the importance of designing learning experiences that are socially collaborative, adaptive, and contextually relevant to foster genuine learning engagement.

- 18. Enter the MOOC Iassume we are talking about xMOOCs 1. xMOOCs are pedagogically-driven course-based educational content-delivery systems. 2. xMOOCs reflect NOTHING whatsoever that we have learnt about LEARNING based on the digital disruption of the last 20 years 3. xMOOCs Not even a “sage on the stage” but hierarchically-based; reflecting 1000 years of “Education under the Lecturn” 4. xMOOCs are unheated digital libraries in the sky Building Democractic Learning
- 19. The problem withxMOOCs 1. xMOOCs ignore everything learnt about learning 2. xMOOCs return the Technology-Enhanced Learning debate back to technology-push 3. xMOOCsare about 19th Century institutions crowding out debate about 21stC learning 4. That debate is driven by people who do not know how to teach nor what learning is 5. xMOOCsare about using the values of the credit crunch to create an education crunch Building Democractic Learning
