I really love this. Great find 🙂

I wonder if the move from MOOCs to spocs is a bit like the move from albums to streaming, bite-sized chunks.

This is a really interesting topic Cathy, I read about it last week and it really got me thinking about the recommendation algorithm we were all talking about in relation to recommending courses. Apart from the obvious of the authority in charge of the recommendations and their motives for the recommendations, I worried about how it could be used or abused by the person being given recommendations.

I know from working at a Uni that there are a lot of students who choose their courses based on how easy they think the assignments sound and how the course fits into what they want to do (like no group work). So I wondered about how we’d sell this recommendation, if we said, here are courses that people who took your course passed, would that influence students to choose courses because it might be an easy pass?

Sorry Matthew this was my fault.

We’d noticed that we’d gain an awful lot of new twitter followers who seemed to be some how involved in advertising, media or statistical companies and we were playing with keywords and hashtag to see if we could manipulate the acquisition of new followers.

That of course became a hilarious back and forth of cheese jokes as Nigel tried to gain cheese related followers and I tried the same with roller skates.

I didn’t get any roller skate related followers though 🙁 just more statisticians.

Great find Renee, I think it explains the difference really well.

Could we possibly say that Data Mining is about helping us understand how to personalise and adapt teaching and learning with the hope to make improvements? (Siemens 2013)
Whilst Learning Analytics is about measuring the individual?

Truly, truly beautiful piece Anne and a really brave MOOC to participate in given the emotional intensity.

Gorgeous use of Adobe Spark, the black and white images hold the tone of the piece really nicely but popping in some colour video breaks things up nicely so that the reader isn’t left overwhelmed with the emotions of this subject.

🙂 always entertaining and thought provoking. I think I will now always have a picture of you hugging a lamp post.

I think James nailed it with the vision of the old ghost town, I had a similar thought about the absence of community and interaction in my mooc, for me it was “Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, anyone, anyone…”

I really enjoyed this Nigel and especially enjoyed the infographic.

Good idea to try to glean as much info as you could from things like the profiles, use what you can and I found the spread of reasons to study the course quite interesting, I must admit, I wouldn’t have considered studying Spanish for a career move,

Serious amount of work Philip and completely engaging. So easy to get lost and lose track of time as it’s so interesting to flit between the different nugget of information on offer.

I think you are right, this level of creativity seems to fit perfectly and set the correct tone,

Helen that is a job very well done!.

I don’t know if it was deliberate but the white really worked well and adding the sound effects helped to really draw me into your world.

Very clever way to introduce the concept but without adding to the digital noise.

Oh and cute cat!
