MOOCs

Soy adicto a los MOOCs. A través de George Siemens, al que he traducido extensamente, participé en el primer cMOOC, que se realizó en 2008, a partir de las ideas conectivistas: Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course (CCK08)

Desde entonces, he seguido el movimiento MOOC, desde las primera interpretaciones distribucionistas hasta el florecimiento institucional (xMOOCs) de la actualidad. La cosa ha llegado a tal punto que he decidido dedicarle una página aparte, distinguiendo entre las dos etapas: conectivista (2008-2011) e institucional (a partir de 2012).

"The more courses I take and the more I learn, the hungrier I feel for more knowledge… it’s like training yourself to be curious".
