Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
ABSTRACT
An instructor tried using connectivism to teach an online graduate Education course called Teaching in a Virtual World. As a way to embody the many connections inherent in the group, all members of the class created and taught modules of their own choosing to each other. The instructor and two former students reflected together online in depth about their experience and coded their joint understandings. Schwab's commonplaces of curriculum emerged in the data, demonstrating that it is still current. They found that the course, however, was not completely connectivist due to limitations emanating from its operation within a traditional university setting.
Interesting, this is what we are toying with in our MultiMOOC EVO session, only we are not a MOOC (not enough people, so our session is ABOUT MOOCs and connectivism :-)
