Hello, I'm Dwayne Kennemore, the other founder of uMOOC.
A group section would be terrific for another reason - in academic contexts, while students DO learn from their professors, they learn from ONE ANOTHER as much or more. There are a few reasons for this, but one of them is, I think, that they're more at ease with one another and don't have to worry about looking bad - this openness helps ideas flow more freely.
Group functionality would make that dynamic possible, further replicating the network that occurs in real life, in cyberspace.
You are already anticipating v2.0.
- perseusprime11 9y agoWon't it then just become an online class? How will you differentiate?
- dkennemo 9y agoThink of it like a breakout session of an online class rather than an online class itself. Why is that useful, you may ask... Having a group and sense of connection helps keep people motivated.
