The Challenges to Connectivist Learning on Open Online Networks: Learning Experiences during a Massive Open Online Course
Abstract
Self-directed learning on open online networks is now a possibility as communication and resources can be combined to create learning environments. But is it really? There are some challenges that might prevent learners from having a quality learning experience. This paper raises questions on levels of learner autonomy, presence, and critical literacies required in active connectivist learning.
