curriculum, open to change,
open source tools, open data

12. What are MOOCs?
• next level of online education
• LMS is not the central node anymore
• heavily decentralized and networked
• content within the MOOC is created by not for the participants
• massively changed role of the instructor
• amplifying, curating, aggregating, filtering, staying present

13. In a MOOC, assessment does not drive
learning; learners’ own goals drive learning.

14. Aims of MOOCs?
• making the learner more independent
• selecting resources and persons he wants connect to
• self-assessment of own learning has to be learned
• making the learner active constructor of knowledge
• being open for change
• motivation and engagement?

15. If you’re not motivated, then you’re not in the
MOOC.
