videos, readings and problem sets, MOOCs provide
interactive user forums that help build a community for the
students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs
are a recent development in distance education.[1]

Editor's Notes
- #5 What does this mean for VET? If you can imagine a VET course that gets delivered in most TAFEs or states of Australia. The delivery method is already standardised. why deliver seperate courses in seperate locations all across the country? At low cost or for free it could happen from one online outlet. - so the potential for scale and productivity to me seem obvious. Yet I haven't seen this happen.
- #8 Ian Goding does a similar exercise where he gets everyone in the room to stand and talk at the same time about a favourite subject. People selectively hear the other monologues that interest them.
- #16 I smell a rat…
- #24 Free Range?Battery?Independent brand?Supermarket brand?Free range and organic?Biodynamic…?
- #28 Always in media like McDonalds and CokeSome companies interested in GM remind me of predatory eLearning companies and MOOC providers.
- #31 Lots of similarities between x and c. both involve gardening, seed planting, watering, soil, sunshine etc
- #32 As supermarket eggs…
- #46 If research shows that around assessment most clicks go to the forums, rather than on the videos, why not start with the forums instead?
