In today’s learning landscape we need ‘learning rebels’ and ‘learning provocateurs’, and not ‘learning conformists’.
…because we are going through a time of major learning transformation, a radical thinking that will help us get started on the transformation has become quite critical. What we need is creative thinking that will churn out innovative solutions that will address the unique challenges of today’s creative economy (challenges that are very different from the ones posed by the industrial economy we have been addressing so far). The need of the hour is a revolution for:

OER Research Hub Data Report 2013-2015: Informal Learners
• A majority of informal learners using OER are full-time employed and already hold an educational qualification
• Cost is the most important factor driving adoption of OER by informal learners
• Relevance to one’s particular needs and clear learning objectives guide informal learners’ selection of open content
• Few (13.9%) informal learners are mindful of open licenses allowing adaptation when selecting OER
• Discoverability of resources, quality and subject coverage are the most pressing challenges faced by informal learners using OER
• 91.5% of informal learners are likely to continue using OER
• A quarter of respondents declare their inclination to go into formal education after using OER

OER Research Hub Data Report 2013-2015: Formal Learners
• Cost (88%) and ease of access (79%) are the most important factors influencing formal learners’ decision to use OER
• 32% of formal learners say that their use of open content influenced their decision to register for their course of study
• Biggest impact of OER use not on grades but on increased interest in the subject, satisfaction with the learning experience and enthusiasm for future study
• Relevance, reputation and clear learning objectives guide formal learners’ selection of OER
• Discoverability of resources is a barrier to OER adoption by formal learners

EDUCATION IS ORGANIZED IN A LINEAR MATTER DUE TO THE INSTITUTIONS OFFERS
LEARNING IS HAPPENING ON RHIZOME MATTER
The Invisible Learners Taking MOOCsRecent research suggests that the majority of people enrolled in these open online courses are highly educated. As far as US participants are concerned, a large percentage also live in high-income neighborhoods.
“Anyone, anywhere, at any point in time will be able to take advantage of high quality education.”

The Invisible Learners Taking MOOCs (2)
• Successful online learners have sophisticated study skills.
• Flexibility and a flexible life are often essential for engaged participation
• Online learning is an emotional experience

Data on learners and engaging students in MOOCs design
Non-completion rates
Good learning and instructional design
Stephen Downes (2014)Since each learner has her/his own objectives and success criteria, and the success of the course depends on each learner meeting their own goals, Downes (2014) offers four key success factors for a MOOC: autonomy, diversity, openness and interactivity. The success or failure of a course depends on how well it satisfies these criteria

Validation/Recognition
CAMEO 3rd Sept 2015
Ossiannilsson_EC_ET2020WGDOL_Ljubliana_personalisation 160915
Users engaging in CAMEO register for a given course with multiple accounts, one of which is designated the “master” account. They then use non-master “harvester” accounts to click through assessments as quickly as possible until the grading tool provides correct answers. The CAMEO user then inputs these “harvested” answers to gain certification for their “master” account in a significantly shorter amount of time than is generally possible.http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2015/9/3/cameo-cheating-method-mooc/
