MOOC TYPES:
cMOOCs & xMOOCs
• C-MOOC stands for
Connectivist MOOC.
• "X" in X-MOOC doesn't
stand for anything

 2004: George Siemens & Stephen Downes develop theory of
Connectivism, “the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a
network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the
ability to construct and traverse those networks
(Downes, 2012, p.9).
 2008: First MOOC presented at the University of Manitoba with 2
200 learners.
 2010: Dave Cormier videos about MOOCs added to youtube
(Cormier, 2011).
