MOOCs are Not the Enemy

This document discusses MOOCs and presents an alternative "cMOOC" model that is networked and non-imperialistic. It argues that cMOOCs embody digital practices, harness and contribute to knowledge abundance, are participatory, are networked, are distributed, and generate knowledge connections beyond the course. cMOOCs share the processes of knowledge work, not just the products. The document suggests cMOOCs could foster networked identities and that educators should not be afraid as they can be subjects, instruments and subverters of education systems.
