From MOOCs to Personal Learning
Stephen Downes, 2015/10/05


The cMOOC, is based on connection rather than content, looks more like an online community than a course, and doesn't have a defined curriculum or formal assignments. What makes a person able to function in such an environment? What constitutes the literacy that is missing in such a case? What type of learning design or learning technology is best suited to support learning in a free-form community-based environment? These are the questions intended to be addressed in this paper. It describes the basis for a personal learning architecture and outlines the elements of the 'learning and Performance Support System' project being developed to implement this architecture.
