Theories and Applications of MOOCs
Learning Theories
Cognitive-behaviorist Social-constructivist Connectivist
Individuals Groups/Communities Crowds/Networks
Individual, stimulated, encoded; knowledge is acquired by individual learners through an expert-designed and scaffolded learning process or training program
Social, participatory, contextual; knowledge is constructed through a process of socialization that negotiates individual experience with multiple perspectives
Distributed, networked, adaptive; knowledge is navigated and activated by making connections across networks of people, information, and resources to address emergent challenges
MOOC Applications
xMOOCs Hybrids cMOOCs
Content-based Community and Task-based Network-based
One-to-many model; expert-driven learning at scale
Community; guided, social learning activities
Peer-2-peer; self-organized, networked learning
Technology-Enhanced Learning Design
Anders, A. (Forthcoming). Theories and applications of massive online open courses (MOOCs): The
case for hybrid design. The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning.
Content-based Learning
Cognitive Behaviorism (Instructivism)
Community and Task-based Learning
Social Constructivism
Network-based Learning
Connectivism
Guiding Principles for Hybrid Design
• Design for content, community, task, and network based contexts
• Community and task-based approaches “balance” content and network-based learning
• Network-based approaches enable situated learning (legitimate peripheral participation) and creative collaboration across organizational boundaries

Knowledge Sharing
Social Collaboration
Anders, A. Team communication platforms and social collaboration practices: A qualitative study.
Working Paper.
“For instance ... Marketing can create ‘websites’ and ‘social media’ channels and invite people from other departments who are on the ‘websites’ or ‘social media’ team to join ... The channel can remain public with activities available to everyone in the marketing department or the entire firm: a new level of transparency and domain knowledge.”
Innovation and Creativity
Social Collaboration
Anders, A. Team communication platforms and social collaboration practices: A qualitative study.
Working Paper.
“One of my favorite channels is a group called #Headlines-and-Framing. Any editor or writer can pop into the channel, offer the headline ideas they’re working through, and ask who has feedback. There are always people who have a few moments to hang out and workshop a line.”
Vicarious Learning
Social Collaboration
Anders, A. Team communication platforms and social collaboration practices: A qualitative study.
Working Paper.
“Public channels within a Slack team allow for anyone who is relevant to the conversation to listen and observe communication being exchanged even if it doesn’t directly apply to them. When people overhear conversations they’re able to catalog insights and apply them in many beneficial ways.”
Emergent Practices
• Communication Visibility and Knowledge Diffusion
• Collaborative, Technology-Enhanced Workflows
