Heli Nurmi summarizes the recent article on MOOC research by Rita Kop, Helene Fournier and Sui Fai John Mak and mentions in passing additonal work by Roy Williams same questions, and Jenny Mackness, suggesting that "a pedagogy of abundance is not enough, we need pedagogy to support human beings." And she suggests that "we already know very much about it, supporting human beings is not totally different in virtual environments." I'm not so sure. The research I see mostly describes how to follow a path. I am working toward the rather more elusive target of encouraging people to find their own path and to take the steps needed to follow it for themselves.
