convenors’ perceptions of collaborative planning and implementation
Collaborative planning
It was easier for them to design, implement and manage the MOOC as a group, instead of
as individuals, because each convenor brought different strengths to the MOOC
This made the MOOC more manageable to one convenor who expressed relief, “I didn’t have to do everything. I also didn’t have to
know everything about everything.”
Implementation
The biggest theme that emerged [...] about the implementation of the MOOC was the multiple technologies or virtual spaces
used for interactions (with participants and among participants)
The convenors’ choice and use of the virtual spaces depended on their own familiarity and comfort level with the technology used
Lessons Learnt
• diverse group of learners who participate
• clearly define roles and responsibilities not only in terms of design and implementation, but also virtual space management and interaction management
• it was as important to meet during the implementation about how things were going and what needed to be changed
Discussion
• Collaboration
• Digital habitats
• Methodological reflections
notice ...
• ... it needs an intensive planning phase• ... design your virtual communication spaces• ... think about different responsibilities• ... adapt virtual discussion spaces to thematic units• ... be open for new emergent situations
