It all started One Year Ago The Department Chair told me I would be
teaching a MOOC to 5,000 students.
![Page 4: Running amok-6710](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55c143c9bb61ebce7c8b47a7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
I knew what a MOOC was but did not have a clue how to actually make it happen.

I pictured myself running about in a
wild & frenzied manner trying to create a personal
learning experience for 5000 students.
Then, I heard a voice….

Ha…OK God-like voice, show me how planning
for a class of 5,000 students is possible.

Fire Starter & Guide
Yes, I’ve read about Connectivism, the
learning theory behind MOOCs. It says that
“learning consists of the ability to construct and
traverse learning networks.”

Fire Starter & Guide
Throughout the semester, the students and I will be traversing & expanding our learning networks.

Traditional Model: “Teacher as Expert”
Can not scale to
accommodate 1000’s of students.
Networked model: “Teacher as Guide”
Is able to scale
infinitely.

We will be using the Networked Model

I am not opposed to the idea but will you
explain why?

Möbius – “Moby” Möbius syndrome is an extremely
rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial
paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side.

Ben Henderson Fire Starter & Guide
Hey Jill, what’s up?
Hello, Ben?
Would you be
interested in teaching
a MOOC with me
next semester?
Very interested … but, ahhh -
you know I’m a researcher not a teacher right?

Okay…I’m listening… Of course…
your background in Biology,
makes you a perfect
counterpoint.
Why don’t you send over an
outline of what you’re thinking
so I can catch up with you?
OK. Bye now.
Will do. Call me when you’re ready.

The course title is, “How to Make
Successful Learning Networks”.

I’ll send Ben, diagrams of my
learning network related to MOOCs & Connectivism.
That will be the best way for him to
see the blogs, articles, videos, etc. that we can use for
the course.

“Also, we will need to decide how we are going to connect: synchronously, asynchronously, via trails (diigo) and/or via tags.” Cheers, Jill PS Let me know when you have completed review.

For the Next 2 Weeks Ben investigated my learning network by reading articles,
watching videos and engaging in lively online debate…

Hey Ben! Jill! Can you see me ok?
The more I learn about this, the more excited I am about the course.
4
Yes. I can…
![Page 31: Running amok-6710](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55c143c9bb61ebce7c8b47a7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Purrrrr…
I’m not surprised a bit... Tell me what you think some of our challenges will be.
Well. Can you tell me a bit more about how we might fit into the interactions.

![Page 32: Running amok-6710](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55c143c9bb61ebce7c8b47a7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The learning objects are really just their starting points.
We will use 3 types of planned interaction: asynchronous, trails (diigo, delicious) and tags.
All of our learning objects: readings, lectures, videos, podcasts, etc. will be posted so students can view them at their convenience or asynchronously

![Page 33: Running amok-6710](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55c143c9bb61ebce7c8b47a7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So, what we want to do is give them a diversity of learning objects in many different formats.
Then what happens? How do we help guide the students and keep them engaged?

Student engagement takes place mainly through their participation in learning activities. Their primary activity for this course is to make their own learning network.

So, they will be setting up and using blog, youtube, twitter, diigo, delicious, RSS feed, google+ accounts?
Yes, to take-in, organize and synthesize information through direct application and conversation.

![Page 36: Running amok-6710](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55c143c9bb61ebce7c8b47a7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We have to be active participants but avoid dominating the conversation.
We will schedule regular times to be active in the blogs, forums and on twitter so students can anticipate when they will be able to communicate or receive feedback.

It sounds like a lot of our job is to exercise self-restraint and let the students have the room to experiment?
I have a feeling, knowing when to step in is going to require some experience. Some trial and error.

Obviously, we will continue to develop each of these steps in greater detail.
Yes. Let’s get back and forth via email. It was good talking with you.
