These are good objectives
Where are they in the schools or in the traditional curriculum?
To ‘transcend’ is to embody these objectives in new curricula.
![Page 11: MOOC 2011: The Massive Open Online Course in Theory and in Practice](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/5549a668b4c905a6758b5271/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To teach, in other words, our students in the same way we would teach ourselves

Why is CCK08 the First MOOC?
It combines open content (Wiley) and open teaching (Couros)
But also…
