Nice article by Steve LeBlanc on why people find studying in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) so hard. "So why is a MOOC so hard? Because it breaks all of our expectations about what is supposed to happen in a class. We are asked to transform from the passive role of student to the more active role of self-directed learner." What's interesting to me is that this post follows his own advice - he has taken a small part of the course (various threads of complaints), curated them, brought order to them, and passed them along.
