Ironically, I'm reading this the day after being interviewed about the origins of our connectivist MOOCs. Here's what Ruth Crick says, "We were asking people to make a fundamental shift in their mental model of what learning is. The dominant model - and it still exists everywhere - treats learning as the acquisition of content. You attend a course. You receive information. You are now 'trained.' Tick the box, move on. What we were describing was something categorically different. Learning as a dynamic, relational, embodied process — inseparable from identity, from purpose, from the quality of relationships." Ten years after our MOOC, it was still ten years ahead of its time. Via some post in LinkedIn that disappeared in an unasked-for LinkedIn refresh and is now impossible to find.
