Traditional Learning Approaches
Behaviorism Drill & Practice, Skinner: programmed instruction Learning through reinforcement
Cognitivism Learning depends on individual differences e.g. motivation, previous knowledge Tutorials, Learning means more exploration Considering more tools for collaborating, communication and learning
Constructivism Inquiry and problem-based learning Situated learning Learning in groups, collaborative learning

Trialogical Learning (Paavola, Lipponen and Hakkarainen (2004)
Based on Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) including the work of Engeström (expansive learning), Nonaka and Takeuchis's model of knowledge creation and the theoretical considerations of Scardamelia and Bereiter (knowledge building) Three metaphors of learning:
“monological” view; the acquisition metaphor: individual learning, learning facts “dialogical” view; the participation metaphor: interaction with others “trialogicial” view; the knowledge-creation metaphor: interaction through shared objects
In the sense of cultural psychology and the approach of trialogical learning, MOOCs can be enhanced through the deliberately use of shared artifacts and knowledge creation.

Short Overview Learning Culture & MOOCs
Behaviorism and xMOOCs Short video lectures followed by quizzes and immediate feedback
Connectivism and cMOOCs To know where the information can be found Impact of networks Considering more tools for collaborating, communication and learning like Blogs and Microblogs, using Social Media for communication

Design Principles for Trialogical Learning (Lakkala et al, 2007)
organizing activities around shared objects, supporting interaction between personal and social levels, eliciting individual and collective agency, fostering long-term processes of knowledge advancement, reflecting on various forms of knowledge and practices, cross-fertilising knowledge practices providing flexible tool mediation

Reflection and Discussion
Further research required to test our assumptions
Role of shared artifacts and mediating tools in learning with MOOCs Considering different cultures and their acceptance and usage of MOOCs How to design culture-sensitive learning material for MOOCs? Are the design principles helpful to facilitate knowledge creation in a trialogical manner?
