Building Democratic Learning

Excellent commentary on the changing nature of MOOCs. "MOOCs originally offered the possibility of designing learning which is NOT pedogically-driven and subject-based. but are now being colonised by the new Open Access model to University courses, which is driven by American University business models." The author offers four major recommendations for a post-MOOC future:
- Develop a Community of Innovators, maybe even a maverick network; a community of practice for innovation in education
- Develop learning design skills which are based on new 21st Century pedagogies; such as the Open Context Model of Learning or the Emergent Learning Model or Connectivism or e-pedagogies…
- Design learning experiences that offer complexity, authenticity and engagement; what the Digital Practitioner work called "artfully constructed student-centred learning experiences"
- Develop them for the society in which we wish to live, for me that is building participatory democratic processes.
