KNOWLEDGE IN A MOOC?

Read this Stephen Downes article: 'Connectivism' and Connective Knowledge

Connectivist teaching and learning consists of four major sorts of activities (read the article above):
  1. Aggregation
  2. Remixing
  3. Repurposing
  4. Feeding Forward

"Rewards, by their very nature, narrow our focus... by neglecting the ingredients of genuine motivation --
autonomy, mastery, and purpose -- they limit what each of us can achieve."
- Daniel Pink
