I thought I should practise what I preach so I have registered for a MOOC run by the Association of Learning Technologists. It starts this week,and 780 people have registered so far. If the introductory materials are borne out, it appears that the constructivist, open-access principles of Stephen Downes and the other early MOOC advocates are being followed. I look forward to this experience, but I am conscious that the audience for a MOOC on TEL may be atypical of the audience for other MOOCS, so I am not expecting it to be a truly authentic MOOC student experience!
