Transcript of What's Next? After the MOOC Hype
Two Solitudes
Media Discourse
• Disruption • Replacement • Transformation • Tsunami • Free
Practitioners’ Discourse
• Connection • Pedagogy • Hybrid options • Institution-specific • Fit to purpose
3. A recognition that education as a system CAN be unbundled
…and may need to rebundle in
new, unfamiliar ways
MOOCs embody digital practices Harness & contribute to knowledge abundance Are participatory Are networked Are distributed Generate knowledge & connections that extend beyond course Share the processes of knowledge work, not just the products
“When colleges and universities become a market, there is no incentive to teach what customer would rather not know.
When colleges are in the business of making customers comfortable, we are
all poorer for it.”
- T. MacMillan Cottom, Slate, Dec 2013
