In this paper we study in detail representative courses from AI and c-MOOC formats. We establish that although they share the use of distributed networks the format associated with c-MOOCs, which are defined by a participative pedagogical model, are unique and different from AI. We further assign to the AI to a cognitive-behaviourist (with some small contribution of social constructivist) and MOOCs to connectivist pedagogy.

An in-depth analysis of differences and commonalities between cMOOC's and xMOOC's. Still no answer to the question "which one of the two kinds have a better learning effect (e.g. measured 6 months after completion)"? Nice quote: "c- MOOCs establish a many to many relation to develop massive interconnectedness. AI establishes a one to-many relationship to reach massive numbers.". cMOOC's better be called MIOOC "Massive Interconnected Open Online Course"?
