I read ‘The Challenges to Connectivist Learning on Open Online Networks: Learning Experiences during a Massive Open Online Course’ (Kop, 2011). C
onnections with people, resources and context are significant in MOOCs. However, it has been witnessed that xMOOCs are mostly designed with more inclination towards resources than interactions with people and context. According to Sfard (1998), there is a blur
boundary betwee
n acquisition and participation. Connectivism advocates participation, social interactions and engagement as important to create, re-create and refine knowledge. In connectivism, PLE is critical! Learners take ownership of learning. They find, create and share a resource, and set their own learning goals but, one needs some directions and guidance in self-directed learning! Intrinsic motivation, digital and critical literacies are at
the forefront! We need to form a learning community to overcome many challenges! We need to understand the context and should have a clear purpose of MOOC. Two of the best platforms are blogs and discussion forum which should be used to gauge learners! But research is sparse to find challenges of MOOC through the lens of learners!
