From a US perspective, I'm wondering if a cMOOC may allow more flexibility for teachers to co-construct a course environment that is Common Core friendly.

If folks do not think a MOOC is a K-12 model ... what could be done to prepare that demographic for a MOOC. or MOOC-like environment?
9 hours ago
Trying to figure out how a teacher can model self-directed learning for pupils to grasp making those connections but also, for the instructor, to cover everything else that matters for the assessments. Keeping in mind these assessment may not be cMOOC friendly depending on what Pearson has to say.

Verena Roberts created a "MOOC" for K12 but I think she decided to call it an open learning course rather than a MOOC.

So if you teach an online class and you let anyone in, is it a MOOC? What if only 10 people show up?

So the expectation is to maintain enthusiasm for a finite period in a MOOC?

@Dave I appreciate what you're saying, because it is exhausting to keep talking.

Dave makes a good point that sustaining community beyond the defined timeframe is tough. Having a set start and end point makes sense.

"Massive" takes the same structure but at different levels of involvement.

Open, for me, is in terms of degree (not all or nothing). Think Creative Commons, for example.

I have to admit I'm a MOOC drop out. I'll be trying another Coursera and this time I've got two friends in the mix. I think that will help me to stick with it.

You are forcing students to participate in the "MOOC". It's not about numbers, IMHO.

A MOOC has to be perceived as adding value, somehow add to your contacts, your knowledge and your ability to contribute.

Do you think, @Paul that the idea for a student MOOC necessarily has to emanate from the students themselves?
