This short paper (13 page PDF) offers very preliminary work only, but I like the thinking. Their idea is to set up a cMOOC such that the learner interface for each participant is adjusted according to a personally defined learner model. In this paper, the research considers "the socioconstructivist pedagogical approach, as well as the experiential model of Kolb and the Dunn & Dunn model to detect preferences and learning styles." The current work consists of an analysis to determine what factors need to be adjusted. No matter how this works out, the thinking is in line with a connectivist approach, which to me suggests that each participant should be able to manage and operate their own personal interface with the online course.
