IoT MOOC on WhatsApp: Creating another online community

IoT MOOC on WhatsApp: Creating another online community

I was interested to find there is a WhatsApp group organized by the MOOC I’m participating in (The IoT). The group is limited to 250 members – seems like a lot though! How is it possible to converse on WhatsApp with that many people? Seems overwhelming to me…

I think it’s interesting that the MOOC is taking the large online community and taking it out of the so-called ‘educational space’ to the seemingly more social and informal space of WhatsApp. I’m thinking that only the very interested few (few meaning 250 max.) will choose to join the WhatsApp group.

Sample screenshot of my micro-ethnography artefact comic!

The MOOC I’ve selected is from King’s College London called The Internet of Things (IoT). So far, I’m finding it difficult to understand and difficult to engage in. I’ve found that I’m not particularly interested in the IoT! I have, however, decided to create a sort-of comic strip to present as my micro-ethnography artefact using Comic Life.

Since I had no idea which MOOC to choose, I was happy to follow Chenée and do a MOOC on FutureLearn from King’s College London: The Internet of Things (IoT).
