MOOC Diffusion
• Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 2003)
• Just another learning technology – postal courses, radio, TV, programmed learning, Web, Learning Management System (LMS)
• Adoption – Bandwagon effects | UC Irvine and Georgia Tech (Kolowich, 2012)
• Implementation – Leapfrog effects | flipped classroom (Martin, 2012)
• Two strategies: Build and Piggyback

What to Measure?
• Completion rates seem irrelevant
• Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
• Engagement: videos watched, forum participation, re-tests, pages viewed, time on site
• Learning: test scores, questions missed, re-tests
• Satisfaction: recommendations, re-purchase

• Where is there space for them within THE-ICE?
• What could be done to explore the issue or start a project?
• Who are the possible stakeholders and how could they collaborate?
• Audience questions and comments?
