The system of higher ed is in shift
Education = the final digital frontier

MOOCs embody digital practices Harness & contribute to knowledge abundance Are participatory Are networked Are distributed Generate knowledge & connections that extend beyond course Share the processes of knowledge work, not just the products
cMOOCs = cyborg?
THE CYBORG EDUCATOR • Subject of the system • Instrument of the system • Subverter of the system
“Cyborg writing is about the power to survive, not on the basis of original
innocence but on the basis of seizing the tools to mark the world that
marked them as other.” - Haraway 1991
MOOCs can foster networked identities
Don’t be afraid…
