Martin Weller offers a response to my suggestion that connectivist MOOCs ought to be used to scale learning. "I'm uncomfortable with this over-reaching of connectivism," he writes. "Open universities across the world have been operating large scale, open, equitable learning for decades." Have a look (it's well-argued). Then you may want to consider my response. I write, "the cost of educational labour is what makes it so expensive... (but) The connectivist approach is to do whatever can be done to help students perform this labour themselves."
