MOOCs in Our University: Hopes and Worries

Subject Matter of MOOCs

- Connectivist MOOCs (cMOOCs): highly social angle to learning. Values creative thinking, independence, and networking.

- AI-Stanford Like MOOCs(xMOOCs): based in individualistic "cognitive-behavioral approaches." Replication of knowledge.

In this review, they note that Rodriguez (who classified these MOOC categories) did not specify these definitions much further and at the time of this review, it remained a gap in the literature.
