Wer es wie ich nur selten schafft, dem Curriculum eines offenen Kurses wie PLENK2010 zu folgen, freut sich bestimmt über solche Zusammenfassungen. Stefanie Panke berichtet von Woche 4 (”Theoretical Background for Personal Learning Environments”), Woche 5 (”Evaluating personal learning environments”) und Woche 6 (”Personal Learning Literacies”) und davon, wie schwierig es ist, in einem MOOC den roten Faden nicht zu verlieren:

“Lately, I’ve had a hard time keeping up with and documenting my attendance at PLENK2010, mainly because I missed several Web meetings and found it difficult to follow the discussion. Looking at the discussion forums, I sense that this is a common experience. Recurring reasons for passive participation or dropping out altogether are the lack of structure and the feeling that “it’s all been said.”
