    I remain unconvinced by questionnaires regarding them as a blunt instrument at best. Thinking about this causes me to consider ‘readiness for learn’ first seeing the digital readiness as a slightly skewed perspective perhaps distracting us from wider considerations. In the end, some people are very good at questionnaires, some at learning, some at both.

    Digital readiness sounds like a list of expectations which relies on previous learning. Any previous experience will, because of where we are with digital learning, be patchy at least. Designing courses and the educational experience requires that we take this into consideration. The mooc pathway is multidimensional and questionnaires  might only scratch the surface of an imaginary path. Sue’s idea about engagement and participation seems critical and on a wider scale, we see this in action with our own mooc.
