The Maker movement began as a free-form exercise. "Typically, 'Making' involves attempting to solve a particular problem, creating a physical or digital artifact, and sharing that product with a larger audience. Often, such work is guided by the notion that process is more important than results." But as it began to be applied more in schools, it began to evolve. Diversity and inclusiveness became more important, and questions began to be asked about what was learned. This article is a good overview of some of the recent research. And it's interesting to compare the similarities between the evolution of MOOCs and the evolution of making.
