Course- verb1 [ intrans. ] (of liquid) move without obstruction; flow : tears were coursing down her cheeks | figurative exultation coursed through him.

2 [ trans. ] pursue (game, esp. hares) with greyhounds using sight rather than scent : many of the hares coursed escaped unharmed | [ intrans. ] she would course for hares with her greyhounds.

What are some of the problems with

MOOCs?

Page 27: Iafor actc o'neill slides only

What about cMOOCs rooted in connectivism?

Page 28: Iafor actc o'neill slides only

Connectivism also addresses the challenges that many corporations face in knowledge management activities. Knowledge that resides in a database needs to be connected with the right people in the right context in order to be classified as learning. Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism do not attempt to address the challenges of organizational knowledge and transference.
