Commenting comments to my blog post Engagement and Motivation in MOOCs
jupidu, ZML Didaktik / Innovative Learning Scenarios
I got to two interesting comments about my last blog post: @jaapsoft wrote in his connectiv blog about „How to evoke more comments on your #change11 blogpost It is not easy to remain motivated for writing a blog when nobody comments…. In a Mooc most people only read and lurk. There was already a similar discussion [...] [Link] Fri, 25 Nov 2011 07:42:38 +0000 [Comment]

The reality of working with soft and hard technologies
jennymackness, Jenny Connected
Jon Dron's presentation to ChangeMOOC this week is very timely. I am working on a University funded project to develop training materials which will be used around the country to deliver school training on a given topic.

Lurkers, Lurking, Learners, Learning, what is learning?
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
I tried making that rhyme, to come up with a catchy title, but it didn't really work out... Oh well, maybe next time ;-)In any case, in the Research_MOOC Mailing list Alan Selig had an interesting question which I thought I would poke at for a while until I came to an answer (or at least something to add to the discussion)Alan SeligOne final "wonderment" from my limited understanding of Connectivist Learning theory:  If the reflecting and remixing never leaves the head&....
