Writing is a technology.We use technology to create & share it.

Teaching writing courses without using current
communications technologies is like teaching only half a subject.

Collaboration
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
In a cMOOC, students must collaborate with others; the
teacher cannot join all groups.
In a classroom, this independence fosters group
responsibility.Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
Connection
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
In a cMOOC, the network provides more resources than
the course.
If all the answers come from inside the classroom, our questions are too small.
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
Assessment
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
In a cMOOC, students evaluate work; teachers cannot grade all.
Teachers hate grading. Evaluation is a skill.
Teach it and grade less.
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
Reflection
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
In a cMOOC, students reflect on their learning based on diverse
experiences.
Reflection aids retention and metacognition. Have students
state what they learned—does it match your objectives?
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
Trust
Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
In a cMOOC, teachers trust students to solve problems and learn what’s relevant to them.
Increased student responsibility leads to more meaningful
learning.Wednesday, 20 February, 2013
