Questions
• Project-oriented: a particular blend of MOOC. Neither a
cMOOC or a xMOOC ?
• A platformless xMOOC ?
• Really « Massive » ?
• Distance learning and group dynamics, dropping out from a
project, how ? Consequences ? MOOC-wise : How does a
Project track scale ? Compared to basic/advanced track ?
• Assembling a team ? Enrolling, not straight away, an afterxMOOC followup
