Viplav Baxi responds to the recent article on cohort based education written by Wes Kao and referenced here a few days ago. He notes that "cohort based courses are what we have been doing offline for quite a while, many hundreds of years," and it looks new only because of our recent infatuation with xMOOCs. "The answers lie in re-envisioning learning in the online space," he says, "instead of continuing to think of it as a conversion from the physical to the online format." If we look at each term in 'MOOC' we can define it differently. For example, "is there another definition of 'massive' - one that represents a very different (apples to oranges) way of looking at scale? What if we looked at 'massive' to represent the extent and depth of interaction between participants?" Quite right.
