I think that the theory is implicit in the concept of the MOOC, which is that learning and education can be opened up to everyone on a global scale. You are absolutely right though Emily, in believing that self- cultivation ans engagement is vital to the success of the MOOC, and think this is why metacognition and reflecting on our own thinking is so important to this process.

This is a common thread in many of the Open Educational Resources dialogues through the United Nations (UNESCO) etc.Joyce McKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960742038050840761noreply@blogger.com
