Makale Özeti:

Based on the explicit principles of connectivism (autonomy, diversity, openness and
interactivity) and on the activities of aggregation, remixing, repurposing and feeding
forward resources and learning, connectivist Massive Open Online Courses (c-MOOCs) have
made a large impact in online education since 2008.
Ideally a great part of c-MOOC participants should share, produce and consume digital
media. But this does not happen and a majority of learners stay on the side as silent
participants that only consume (lurkers). Those active never exceed 10% of those
registered.
The way c-MOOCs have been delivered up to date can be divided into: i) those that make use
of a daily newsletter used by the facilitator to syndicate fundamentally the blog posts from
the active participants and ii) those that rely on a centralizing web page and where all
course discussions happen via the usage of a mailing list. In each format participants
undergo a very different learning experience but the relation active-to-lurker is in both ve
similar.
After the success of MobiMOOC 2011, Inge de Waard organized and coordinated in
September 2012 a three weeks course on mobile learning. MobiMOOC 2012 relied on a
format of a centralized wiki and mailing list but introduced a new delivery structure: a tree
arquitecture. Participants concentrated in only one topic in the first week, four were offered
on the second and eight on the third.
MobiMOOC 2012 and this experimental new organizational structure are described in detail
in this paper. We particularly analyze if a more balanced distribution of participants in active
and lurkers roles was achieved when compared to previous experiences.
